On Aug. 3, 1955, Ethel was united in marriage to the love of her life, Alfred “Fritz” Bujold. Her only job since her youth was working at Greenside’s Grocery Store, and taking ownership of the store from her father in 1972 with her lifetime husband, Fritz.
She was a faithful member of Guthrie United Church, where she played the organ for the past 67 years since she was 12 years old.
Ethel loved music of all sorts, dancing and socializing with everyone. She also enjoyed the company of her “Birthday Club” friends and always remembered special occasions.
She liked attending many concerts in the area, and also teas at many of the local churches. In the summers, she went to baseball games at the Devlin Ball Park and socialized with the younger people.
Ethel also enjoyed family get-togethers, which never began until grandma arrived. Many lifetime memories were made at their cabin on Lake Despair.
Her generosity and selflessness over the years was endless, and Ethel will be dearly missed by her family, church community, and many friends.
