To Pa , Tim, Geraldine, Cheryl, Carolyn Words cannot express our love for all of you with the passing of "Ma". She brought such joy into the life of everyone that she knew and was always there to talk with. You always knew there would be a good meal and a laugh or two when you were at the Brinks house. Kev has so many stories of all the times that he went fishing with Ma and Tim, getting chocolate milk and doughnuts at the bakery and the times he would call from out west and check in with his "other" mother. We will miss her so much but try and concentrate on the good times and memories that you all have. She is in God's arms now and watching over all of us. Love always, Ruth and Kevin

My heart sank when I saw the obit, but then lifted to know that Ethel is in the best place now. My earliest memories are of her laughter and fun, when we moved next door to this young couple and their small kids. As we all aged, Ethel never forgot anyone. Peace to the family, and big hugs.

I am so sorry for your loss. Ethel was a wonderful woman and much like a mother to me when Shari and I were growing up. She always would look after us and try to make sure we didn't get into any trouble. She kept us on the straight and narrow. I know that this is a difficult time for all of you, but keep all the wonderful memeriors close to your heart. My prayers are with all of you. With Love, Sue Severinghaus

Love Ya. That's how Ethel(Putt) always ended our phone conversions. She was a beautiful and gentle person, one who never let on about her own pain. She was always thinking of others and a very generous person...you couldn't leave her house or a family picnic without taking some of her pickles or hand-picked blueberries. She had a great smile, a wonderful laugh, and a subtle sense of humor. I will miss you sis. Love Ya.

I just found out about Ethel's passing today, and my heart goes out to her family. Growing up as a teenager I felt that she was almost a second mother to me and a very, very special person. I have thought about her many times thru out my life and will miss here dearly.
