Ethel was a life long member of Bethany Lutheran Church in Palmyra, New Jersey. She taught Sunday School there for many years. She enjoyed bowling in several leagues and would bike around Palmyra and Riverton three times a week completing a ten mile course. She was an avid swimmer and spent summers at her parent’s home on Long Beach Island.
Ethel found great joy spending many hours with her daughter going to horse shows in New Jersey. Debbie owned several horses from the 1960’s to 2010 and Ethel helped in their care.
One of Ethel’s greatest satisfactions was being involved in the lives of her grandchildren and she accomplished one of her life goals when she attended their college graduations.
