She discovered a talent for painting and drawing at the age of 70. She also enjoyed knitting and crocheting. She made sweaters, mittens, and afghans for many of her family members. Ethel was well known for making the best snickerdoodles. She was an eloquent, loving person and was very organized in all
of her pursuits.
