Ethel lived most of her life in Cadiz, Ohio. She was a store manager for the Neikirk 5 and 10. Later, she was a stay at home mom but was an active member of the First Church of Christ Christian Church in Cadiz. She was involved in choir, children�(TM)s programs, women�(TM)s group and served as Sunday School Superintendent and Sunday School teacher. She was also a Brownie and Girl Scout leader and a 4H Advisor for many years. She later worked for the Cadiz schools as a Secretary and Teachers Aid.

Carl was a barber for over 52 years and most would remember him at the Barbershop in the Custer Hotel in Cadiz. Living most of his life in Cadiz, he then was a member of the First Church of Christ Christian Church serving the church as a Deacon, Treasurer, and choir member. He was a talented musician and could play several instruments including the guitar, accordion, violin, harmonica, and piano.

After retirement, Carl and Ethel moved to New Philadelphia. They transferred their church membership to the Dover First Christian Church where they attended and enjoyed the social activities. Carl and Ethel loved baseball and could always be found at their grandsons�(TM) ball games. They were big Cleveland Indians fans. Along with enjoying the activities of their grandchildren, they were active with the Senior Citizens and took many bus tours. Over the years, they had traveled to many states. Ethel also enjoyed crafts, crocheting, sewing, and “being creative.” Carl also credited his long life to Ethel�(TM)s good cooking. Carl continued his favorite hobby of fine woodworking and has left many beautiful handmade clocks and furniture pieces to his children and grandchildren.

In the last few years, Carl was devoted to caring for his wife who was diagnosed in 2002 with Alzheimer�(TM)s. He chose to live with her in Assisted Living so they could be together.
