Ethel loved to make things with her hands. She made beautiful crochet items and jewelry. People would come from all over to get a doily or a baby sweater set or crocheted christening gowns. She loved craft sales and would often be found in the area selling her wonderful things. Visitation from 4-7pm, Tuesday, May 27, 2008 at Mattson Funeral Home, 343 North Shore Drive, Forest Lake, MN.
