She will be remembered as a loving and devoted mother, grandmother (Gibby and Bebe), for her quick wit, as a wonderful cook and homemaker, and an accomplished dancer. She was known for her poise and grace and was a former Miss Hiltons. Ettna's loving and generous manner was exemplified by her concern for animal welfare and the homeless.
