Ethel J. Trotter, 94, entered Heaven on February 24, 2018. She was born December 3, 1923. She was the daughter of Newton (Newt) and Myrtle Trotter of the community of Eula, Texas, near Abilene. She is preceded in death by her parents and her brother, Sam, of San Diego, California, and a nephew, Glenn, of Prescott, Arizona. She is survived by a niece, Gail, of Washington state and by a close friend, Marion Axe of Midland.For many years Ethel was the manager of Walker Auto Parts in Big Spring, Texas, where she made many friends. After retirement, she moved to Midland, where she lived out her life. Because of her humility, kindness, and interest in others’ lives, she continued to form many friendships, especially those associated with Senior Link in Midland and specifically at the Senior Citizens Garage Sale each fall. Puzzles and games were her responsibility. During her recent illness, many of these caring people made their way to Ethel’s room at Senior Care in Midland.Having grown up in a small community, Ethel was very fond of sports, especially basketball and baseball. Most importantly, Ethel knew Jesus Christ as her Savior, so her eternal home is secure with Him in Heaven.Memorials may be directed to Texas-Size Garage Sale, 3301 Sinclair, Midland, TX 79707, or to a charity of your choice.
