Ethel's memory will forever be cherished by her children, Steve Johnson (LeAnn Black) of Spencer, Iowa, Mike and Jeri Johnson of Kiel, Wisconsin, Nancy Johnson (Scott Trigg) of Spirit Lake, Gay Johnson of Littleton, Colorado and Louise and Dewey Allison of Altoona, Iowa; thirteen grandchildren, twenty great-grandchildren and two great-great-grandchildren.
