After John died, Ethel remarried and ended up moving to Hillsboro, Oregon. She had a house moved to my mom's small farm - not a small mother-in-law type house, but a large 2-story one which dwarfed my mom's home...lol. She wanted it set right on top of the garden, so that's where it was placed. That was the only area we had that was good for a garden (most of the rest was for livestock), so I never again had to spend time weeding there...lol.
Ethel later moved near the coast, into a mobile home, close to one of her favorite fishing areas. She died of smoke inhalation in a fire.It was claimed she was intoxicated, and probably left a lit cigarette smoldering when she feel asleep. They said she probably did not wake up, so didn't feel any pain.

subject ethel phelps Important mainly because of the people in the conversation. My grandma's obituary says her name was actually Ethyl Lenore Phelps.
Her funeral notice was published in the Oregonian, March 1, 1973 Her obituary said she was born 19 Sep 1910.
Her daughter, Sally, was shown with the wrong surname in the obit. Sally was born 28 Nov 1935 in Portland, Multnomah, Oregon and is
married to Norman K Sperling (born 3 Nov 1927).
Her mom's (Dora Loop) obituary was published in The Oregonian, February 27, 1942, but wasn't completely copied onto the site to which
I recently subscribed. It looks like it says she died in the McMinnville general hospital (in Yamhill County, OR).
I found a high school photo of my cousin, Gary Lawrence Sperling (born 16 Jun 1956 in Oregon). he's the son of Ethyl's younger daughter
(Sally Marie, born 28 Nov 1935 in Portland, Multnomah, Oregon) and Norman K Sperling (born 3 Nov 1927)
