Married Christopher J Abbott until he died in a plane crash in 1954.
In 1972, The Ethel S. Abbott Charitable Foundation was established so that her generosity could be perpetuated. During her lifetime she gave away several million dollars primarily to organizations related to medical research, always requesting no publicity for the gifts as she was a very private person.
Following her death on May 22, 1992, the assets of The Ethel S. Abbott Charitable Foundation increased considerably because a substantial portion of her estate was left to the Foundation. In addition, the Foundation was now able to acknowledge the generosity which Mrs. Ethel S. Abbott had shown to her community by publicizing the contributions and grants made on her behalf by the Foundation.
