Wills (Farnsworth), Ethel Marie – 80 yrs of Meadowvale, NS passed away peacefully on Saturday, May 16th, 2015 in Soldiers Memorial Hospital, Middleton. Born December 3rd 1934 in Hampton, NS, she was a daughter of the late Howard Farnsworth and Florence (Hannam) Cook.

Four grandchildren: Jill McNally, Adam MacMurtery, Ryan MacMurtery, Chelsea MacMurtery and one great- grandchild, Olivia McNally. She was predeceased by her sister, Myra (Farnsworth) Cummings. Ethel and sister Myra were nearly inseparable for the last many years. If you were ever in Greenwood and saw two white-haired ladies loudly laughing and talking, you could bet that Ethel was one of those ladies. In her early years, she was an active member of the community of Margaretville, she worked for many years as a telephone operator both in Middleton and CFB Greenwood. As much as Ethel loved her hats, elegant clothing and jewelry, her greatest pleasure in life was her family. She was a devoted sister, mother, grandmother, and wife. Ethel loved with every part of her being. She loved, she cared, and she will be forever missed. A memorial service will be held at a later date. Donations in Ethel’s memory may be made to the IWK or charity of your choice.
