I was Ethel’s Neighbor for 51 years
The family has my condolences
My Auntie Ethel, my second mom , had the best laugh. I am filled with joy that she was such a big part of our life. She is a perfect example of what makes a wonderful aunt, mother and friend. She was the best dancer too. The Osterman Clan will keep her wonderful memory alive as we share all the fabulous events and stories of her for years to come. Love and prayers to all my cousins who are grieving the loss of this wonderful lady.
Ethel was a part of my 43rd Street history
She gave me the opportunity to follow her example to the reading of Scripture at mass.
She was a faithful daughter of our Lord and the Church .
My family and I are truly sorry for your loss. We loved Aunt Ethel very much!! So many great memories from Bishop reunions to backyard get togethers to all the sisters and friends comming over after bowling to play cards. So much laughter!! She was one of the strongest women that I ever knew. Her life was never easy but she always made it seem like it was!! Good job Aunt Ethel!! You were a good and faithful servant Now enjoy you reward!!
