Aunt Ethel was a kind and loving person. I remember as a kid she would always let us pick plums and peach from her back yard. You will truly be missed as part of the Minter Family. My memories and love for family will always keep you alive in my heart. Job well done Aunt Ethel...I love you and I will miss you. To her children I send my love and prayers...may you one day find peace and joy in knowing that she is resting well in God's home.
