Photographs show Ethel from childhood to her golden years. Her friendly, caring personality glows in these priceless photos.

During the service, a vase of lovely flowers decorated the seat on the main floor that is dedicated to Ethel (H-110). After the service, in the inner lobby, everyone gave a toast to the Exit sign (#10) that has Ethel's name underneath it. A nice picture of Ethel now sits at the left end of the concession stand.

She was an angel to a lot of people. She was loving and devoted woman who helped change many of lives for the better. As a teenager i lived with the O'Learys for a while and called her Mom. I last talked to her on New Years Day, at shortly after midnight when I called to wish her son John a Happy New Year. I was not totally surprised when he told me Mom was still up, and I talked to her for a little while. She told me "Allan, I am one hundred and one years old, and I may never see another New Year." Of course I promised to talk to her again next year.....now unfortunately that will not happen. Goodbye Mom, God Bless you! Thanks for the story about a dear friend, Ethel.

Thanks for the great concession stand - it's one of the best parts of the Redford. The selection is outstanding, and where else can you get a pop and popcorn for $2.50?

She will be missed at the Redford. She was a hard worker! Thank you for taking the time to give tribute to her. Would you mind if Bob and I included the article in the Redford Theatre's monthly newletter, The Blower? We are dedicating the next issue, which will be published in February, to her. Thank you, Bob and Sue (Concessions chairpersons and Blower editors) Bob,
