Ethel resided at 122 Juniper Street in Omak for the past three years, and in her own home in Omak prior to that. Ethel's life journey began on a small homestead near Havillah, WA on October 15, 1922. The house where she was born still stands today. Ethel's mother's maiden name was Visser and that family continues to operate the ranch in the Havillah area. Ethel attended school in Oroville and graduated from Oroville High in 1940. In December of that same year, Ethel married the love of her life, Lawrence Vernon Forsythe, who passed away in 2007. Ethel and Lawrence soon moved to Okanogan, where two of their three children, Dave (1942) and Patti (1946), were born. Lawrence worked in the sawmill there and Ethel kept the family home. The Forsythes moved to Twisp in 1948. In 1956, the third child of the Forsythe family, Laurel, was born. The family lived in Twisp until 1972, when they moved to Puyallup for a brief time, before returning to Twisp. Ethel and Lawrence moved to Omak in 1996.
