Big-Hearted Spirit of Ethel Albrecht Shines Through

Michelle Pinon - News Advertiser

Ethel Albrecht has a heart of gold and her generosity has touched the lives of many people in the Two Hills area since she began volunteering nearly five decades ago.

On December 12, her son Dave orchestrated a cavalcade of friends, neighbours, and fellow volunteers to drive by her Musidora area home to celebrate her 90th birthday.

Twenty-five vehicles filled with approximately 50 wellwishers honked and cheered for this special lady who has made countless contributions to community groups, friends, and family members throughout her lifetime.

Dave said her only comment at the time was, “You see this happen to people on the news, but you never expect it to happen to you.”

He went on to say, “It was not until the next day when it had a chance to sink in, that she was truly overwhelmed by the turn out. I sat with her the next day while she went through all the cards she had received (we quarantined them for 24 hours as a precaution),

and that is when a few tears of joy were shed. My mother

is very modest and I do not believe she realizes the impact that she has had on her family, friends and community.”
