Ethel was a stay-at-home mother raising her three children until they were in high school, then began working at several retail stores in the area, including Sears, Carpenter’s, Calumet Floral, and Zales.
Ethel was an avid volunteer in the community, serving with the Election Commission as a poll worker, the Hockey Association, Calumet Figure Skating, 4-H, and the Extension Club. She logged many hours at the Aspirus Hospital Gift Shop and worked with the Hospital Auxiliary. She was also a member of the Laurium and Calumet United Methodist Churches.
