Ethel was an incredible supporter of the Vernon River Lions Club and knit hundreds of mittens each year. She also created finger puppets for children at the QEH. Many people benefited from the enormous amount of knitting of afghans for the Women’s Institute that Ethel tirelessly created. She enjoyed many crafts and was also a very accomplished photographer and saw wonderful things in nature. Ethel loved flowers and always said she wanted them when she could enjoy them.
