Ethel L. Hoehn

This is dedicated to the memory of Ethel L. Hoehn November 15th, 1937 - November 24, 2008.

Ethel is Geri's Aunt on her mothers side of the family.

I met Ethel in 2004 as Geri was moving out to Wisconsin with me. We stopped at Geri's grandfathers home in Seeley Lake, Montana. Mr. Chaffin was dieing from pancreatic cancer at that time and among those caring for him was his daughter, Ethel. Ethel contracted pancreatic cancer herself and fought this rigorously.

Among the only photographs I have of this amazing woman are those I took at her fathers home in Seeley Lake in 2004, a couple that were taken at her sister Azara Llewellyn's 80th birthday. Also included here is her obituary published in the Missoulian newspaper and memorial pamphlet at her funeral.
