Obituary ~ Ethel Alice (Richardson) WILLIAMS
Ethel Williams died peacefully at 102 ½ years old on March 11/23, at Points West Living, Stettler.
Ethel was predeceased by her parents Lona & Hiram Richardson; son Larry Williams; husband Lloyd Williams; young brother Norman, and older brother and sister-in-law Vern & Bi Richardson. Sadly, her niece Kathy Richardson, nephew Robert Williams, and all of Lloyd’s brothers and sisters have also gone before her.
The daughter of immigrant parents (UK and USA) Ethel was settled here in the heart of Alberta. She was born, raised, and lived the whole of her life within a twenty-mile radius of Stettler. For sixty-eight years her home was on 56th Street, near (Sharpe’s) Memorial Park. Ethel worked thirteen years at the Royal Bank and loved the interactions with the staff and customers. She then became a full-time wife, mother and was always involved with church and community life. Her special interests were art, music, gardening, needlecrafts, Larry’s activities, and the monarchy. She was a good cook, gracious host, letter writer and voracious reader. Ethel’s membership in the United Church & UCW, Bridge Club, and the fraternal Order of the Eastern Star were all very important to her and the source of lifelong friendships. She and Lloyd’s interest in history, politics, sports, and genealogy meant they traveled through many parts of Canada, UK, and USA.
Ethel loved a good cup of tea and had great fashion sense. She watched trends come and go and adapted to many things over a century of living. At the core she was steadfast and true. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
Ethel’s family would like to extend a special thank you to the staff at Points West Living for helping her make the difficult transition to supportive living a year and a half ago. Between them, other visitors, and her personal assistants, she ended up knowing she was in good company and had the care she needed ‘til life’s end.
