We are so sorry to hear of Aunt Etta`s passing. She was a wonderful lady who loved life and had a lot to teach and share with everyone. My mom Faye Dickieson has many fond memories of her sister-in-law Etta and they had many things in common including a love of crafts and reading. Myself and my sister Tracey and brother Ron always enjoyed our trips to Ripley with our parents to visit and get that small town closeness and friendliness with Aunt Etta and Uncle George and Shirley and George. It is wonderful that Aunt Etta was able to spend so much time with her family and all the grandkids and great grandkids who are lucky to have had her in their lives. Our deepest sympathies at this sad time.  Take care, Faye, Lorna, Tracey and Ron.

Etta was a beautiful woman who has touched so many lives in our community. I loved seeing her eyes light up when the kids walked through the door, I'm sure many whom considered her family. She will be greatly missed. My family is sending our condolences to Etta's loved ones during this difficult time.
