Aunt Ethel Mae (my mother Theresa's older sister) was born to the union of Deacon Chapman W. and Mary Jane Frazier-Rhodes (sixth of twelve children).
As a teenager, she confessed Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord, and was baptized at the Level Hill Baptist Church.
In 1941, Aunt Ethel transferred her membership to the Greater New Hope Missionary Baptist Church in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Aunt Ethel, and her late husband (Uncle Perry) were always kind to me. Every time my parents, brother and I visited Aunt Ethel and family, she always gave me something from her store, i.e., a soda pop, candy, etc. Again, in 1981, when my young family (wife and children) visited her in Cincinnati, she cooked for and fed us all. Later, she gave me an aloe vera plant that yet grows, in 2003, in San Antonio, Texas. I've named the plant Aunt Ethel and it reminds me constantly of her loving kindness and generosity.
In her later years, Aunt Ethel ocassionally sent me a birthday card that always included a few dollars. She'd say the money was to buy me some ice cream. :-) I thank God for blessing and giving me the privilege to have known a true saint called Aunt Ethel. She will always live in my heart.
