Ethel was always so happy at the family gatherings with a big smile on her face for everyone . Her family was so very important to her. When I was in the situation that I had to give up ranching she quickly made arrangements for an interview for me with the training department at GSI (later TI) where I became the graphic artist in that department, just down the hall from where she was an executive secretary for many years. That career lasted for 20 years. She also opened her home to me while I got settled in the area and I was always grateful to her for her generosity toward me. She was there for whoever needed her.
Dad talked about how Aunt Ethel would play cowboys with him even though she was five years older. One day he decided to climb the garage to ambush her and reached out to grab a “rope” that ended up being a live wire and he couldn’t let go - when Ethel saw him she didn’t even hesitate but, ran full speed and slammed him off it saving his life. It reminds me of, “It’s a Wonderful Life” - how differently things could have turned out. Each life touches so many others.
