In her 97 years of life, Etta touched the lives of so many people. She was an incredible and caring wife to her husband she loved dearly, a mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister, and friend. Etta’s pride was in her family. Family members would gather around the kitchen table for delicious breakfast, lunch, and dinner meals, listening to Etta’s wisdom and stories. The simplest pleasures in life brought Etta great joy. As long as Etta was with her loved ones, she was happy. She was an incredible artist and loved to paint. She had a passion for fashion, and she will always be remembered wearing a full face of makeup and being dressed to the nines.

Etta will be honored with a Mass of Christian Burial on Friday, November 3rd at 11 a.m. in St. Mark’s Church, 15 Garden Ct., Cranston.  Burial will be private and visiting hours are respectfully omitted.
