Ethel was employed by Central Florida Nursery for a number of years, and later worked for Aduda & Sons Harvesting of Zellwood, Florida. Being in need of spiritual leadership, Ethel joined Mt. Calvary Missionary Baptist Church under the leadership of the late Rev. R. J. Boone. She attended faithfully until her health began to fail. Ethel became a resident of Avante Health Center but never lost her faith to serve the Lord. Ethel truly enjoyed visits from her family and friends, but especially her grandchildren who would always sing good old gospel songs to her.
