Ethel Stillman, 103, of Decatur NE

Ethel G. (Means) Stillman was born May 2, 1912 to Albert and Ida Mae (Boland) Means in Walthill, Nebraska. She passed away September 16, 2015 at the Golden Living Center in Tekamah, Nebraska, at the age of 103 years.

Ethel grew up with her family on the farm. She was married to Lloyd Williams, and to this union were born two daughters, Lucretia and Rosemary. Ethel and Lloyd continued to raise their family on the farm, until he passed away on October 24, 1955, in a crop duster accident. Ethel later married Melvin Stillman, and together they worked on the family farm, until moving to town before Melvin passed away, on March 29, 1985.

Ethel enjoyed sewing, crocheting, and knitting. She laid her needles down only a short time ago, but held her blankets, checking her work up until her passing. She also liked to cook, and baking fresh bread and cinnamon rolls was a weekend tradition. Ethel found joy in these hobbies, and she passed them onto her greatest love, her family.

She is survived by her six grandchildren; eleven great grandchildren; five great great grandchildren.
