She will be remembered for her fried chicken, fried apple pies and constant supply of wedding cake icing she stored in the refrigerator. Ethel also held in-home parties selling Merri-Mac toys. Ethel was a devout Christian serving several terms as president of the Ladies Christian Fellowship at First Christian Church of Oxford. Her Love of God helped mold sons James and John as well as grandson Adam into ministers. Visitation will be held at Ogle & Paul R.
