Personal note from Ethel's Family

Ethel Arlene Bennett (aka "Mom", "Grammie", "Aunt Ethel") was loved and admired by many. We are very grateful for the almost 99 years she gave us, and we will dearly miss her gentle, loving presence. Please feel free to share your memories and photos Ethel to help us celebrate her long and beautiful life.

The family wishes to thank Maria and her colleagues who provided loving, dignified care for Ethel during her last 18 months. The relationships that grew between her caregivers and Ethel were consistent with her lifelong habit of making great friends. Maria and others provided a great deal of comfort to the family and are very much appreciated.

In addition, we are grateful for the kind and gentle support provided to Ethel and her family by the staff and volunteers Hudson Valley Hospice Foundation. In lieu of flowers, we encourage donations to this worthy organization at: https://www.hvhospice.org/fou…
