Even in recent years, when the world faced a global health crisis that left many frightened and uncertain, Ethel surprised everyone around her. Despite her advanced age, she approached the situation with remarkable calm. Family members say her ability to stay positive and keep perspective helped her endure that difficult time. She trusted life, trusted people, and trusted that worry would not change what was beyond her control. That mindset, they believe, was as important as any physical factor.
Longevity seems almost woven into her family history. One of her sisters also lived past one hundred, and Ethel often credits the warmth of her family bonds for much of her strength. Shared meals, laughter, and finding joy in small, ordinary moments mattered more to her than any grand achievement. She likes to say that life does not need to be rushed. It needs to be tasted slowly.
Now living in a care residence, Ethel continues to leave a quiet impression on everyone she meets. Caregivers describe her as attentive, kind, and endlessly grateful. She treats each new day as a gift rather than a guarantee. When people mention her age or speak of records and numbers, she laughs it off. She insists she never set out to live long. She simply tried to live well.
Perhaps that is the real lesson she leaves behind. A long life is not built on control or perfection, but on gentleness. Toward others, and just as importantly, toward ourselves.
