Brenda, Faye, Alice and families so sorry to hear of your Moms passing. Hold tight to the memories and each other.

You were very fortunate to have your Mom this long. My Mom (Iris Sampson) passed in 2010 at age 85. Our Moms had been friends for a very long time starting in Dungannon. When I worked as a PSW your Mom would come to my clients, sit on the floor-cross legged and take care of their feet and toe nails. I’m sure Mom was in her 70’s then…she was amazing! You will have lots of memories. Sincere condolences to all of you. Carol and Lou Lahey.

So sorry to hear this news. What a wonderful age! I will always remember Aunt Ettabelle’s smile, & how she would tell me of her favourite Perry Como songs. Will always remember Uncle Bill, always cheerful, telling me how he would paint 1 wall of the house each year, & his collection of bicycle parts in the garage. My thoughts are with you

Sending our deepest condolences to Brenda, Faye, Alice & families. We have many fond memories of Ette & the backyard parties. RIP my sweet Godmother.

Sending My Deepest Condolence to all Aunt Ett’s family. She was an incredible lady, a life well lived.

To Ellabelle’s family my deepest sympathy. I have so many memories of your Mom and mine [Dorothy Cox] doing so many things at the church together. She sure was one special lady. Sincerely Pat Dicks

Lovely Ettabelle was one of the mainstays of our Warren street neighbourhood and Mom to 3 lovely daughters, our family playmates, friends to this day. Condolences to Brenda, Faye and Alice. Love from the Chase kids.

Ettabelle was a a very knowledgeable, kind & caring RN. I have wonderful & treasured memories during the time that she worked at Maitland Manor.

Ettabelle was a wonderful lady and I have many happy memories staying with her in her home in Goderich.
She made the best pies and gave the best hugs. 💕

Saddened to hear about Ettabelle,
Wonderful wife, mother and grandmother.
Enjoyed our times together in Goderich and at Christmas gatherings.
Lots of good memories.
Our thoughts are with family members at this time.

I will always remember your Mom as she welcomed “the girls” when the Clyde 5 would stay at her home for a Goderich weekend

Lovely Ettabelle was a mainstay of the Warren street hood, mother of 3 daughters, who were our childhood playmates and friends to this day. Condolences to Brenda, Faye and Alice from the Chase family.

Our sincere condolences, on the passing of your dear Mother. Remembering all the good times the parents of the neighbourhood had, in the garage your Father built. Not to forget the Harbourlight Inn. They all lived life to the fullest.

Always a warm welcome at the Bradley home ,full of love ,laughter and good food.Rest in peace,Ettabelle.Our sincere condolences to the family,Jim and Marg

I knew Ettabelle for many years . She bowled on the same team as my Mom. She was a wonderful lady. Her footcare business we crossed path’s many times. She always kept busy. May she RIP. I’m sure her and Marilyn Bannister are striking up a big conversation about now.

Faye, Bruce and Family,

I only knew your mom from your stories and all the interesting things about her told to me, but I can tell you I felt like I knew her, and what lucky people you are to have called her your own. I’m so grateful to her that she gave me my wonderful friend, Faye. May God’s perpetual light shine upon her.

In caring sympathy,
Brenda Foster

I have such fond memories of staying at Mrs. Bradley’s home when I travelled to Goderich for work. I felt so at home and safe there versus in a hotel. Your Mom was such a kind and wonderful person and I have such great memories of chats over tea after work. My sincerest condolences. You are in my thoughts and prayers during this sad time.

Writing for my mother Joyce Pinkney ,many fond memories came to mind for mom ,church , shared birthday with Bill, her pedicure times with dad such ❤ a caring nature. Sending prayers and hugs

Ettabelle Bradley, who didn’t know her at St.George’s. She was so active in the church and knew so many people. I knew her since I was a little girl and she was always so kind. She was like an extra Grandma to me and the kids in the congregation. I even got to have her as sweet and thoughtful server at my Mothers funeral at the church. One thing can be said for sure is that Ettabelle set the bar high for her kindness to others.

What a lovely lady who inspired me. Her happiness in the simply things. Her passion for gardening. Love for her family. Fly Butterfly Fly.

My sincere sympathy to Ettabelle’s family – we bowled together for many years and shared much laughter. Thinking of her family, Sincerely Betty Fisher

What a beautiful soul! Ettabelle was such a grand lady. I remember her always grabbing my hand in hers as we met in Communion lineup at St. George’s. Ettabelle, my mum and other memorable ladies had so much fun in the parish kitchen back in “the day”. Ettabelle was a hugger and I loved her!

My condolences to all three girls and their families.
I have fond memories of Ett, and Bill, through their good friends, the Hibberts.
Rest well, Ett.

Dear Alice;
So sorry for the loss of your dear Mom. I have many fond memories of a great welcome when we “played school” after school. Always made to feel at home. Deepest sympathy.

Condolences, my memories are for the most part Church related. My thoughts are with all.

It was probably in March 1974 that we (my pregnant wife Christine, our daughter Tracy and I) were touring the house at 134 Warren St, the house next door to the Bradley Family. Ettabelle, came to the door looking for the former owners with a pie in hand. She introduced herself and promised us a pie in the very near future. She did show up with a pie soon after we moved in. Bill showed up soon after that with the offer of his pickup truck to move our belongings from the apartments at the end of Warren St. They tried spoiling my 2 daughters and even getting us a beagle dog named Charlie. We lived there until March of 1976 when we moved to London to continue my Nursing career from Goderich Psychiatric Hospital to London Psychiatric Hospital. During those couple of years we became close to Ettabelle and Bill, and to Benda when she came home, and had married Lou, a friend of mine when we both attended the YMCA in Stratford and Faye, she kind of flew under the radar. Alice, I also got to see later when she was working in the Clinical Records Department at London Psychiatric.
Ellabelle was always doing this or that and with her friend down the street. She always had a great story to tell about her Nursing career, and what was going on daily.
Several years ago now i was in to visit her in London, but was out with Faye on one of their numerous outings.
She was a very wonderful lady and will be missed by al those whose life she touched. RIP my friend and say Hi to Bill from Bob and the girls next door.

Once my wife and I discovered Ettabelle’s B&B, we and our friends never stayed anywhere else for the week of Celtic Roots. Ettabelle even slept on the couch one week to make sure we could all stay with her. While we came from western Pennsylvania, we felt like Goderich was our second home. By the third year, we began taking turns making breakfast or dinner and taking Ettabelle on day trips. Before the festival weekend, we’d sit out on the back porch and sing songs and catch up on Goderich news, and on the weekend Ettabelle would join us at the park. On Sunday, she’d take us all out for brunch. During the year, we’d call her or she’d call us, and we’d exchange notes and cards. Thanks to Ettabelle, we have years of great memories to recall, and we feel a closeness with her family because of all the stories she shared.

So sorry that we are sending our condolences almost one year after Ettabelle had passed away. We have thought of her from time to time over the years. We stayed with her at her Bed & Breakfast in Goderich and found a new friend. She was such a delight – we would drop in to visit her when we came to Goderich, took her for a drive through town a few weeks after the tornado struck the town and down to bench by the shore and visited her when she moved to the retirement home in Goderich. Rest In Peace Ettabelle – you were one of a kind.

Well, on January 27/23 I found myself thinking about Ettabelle . I did a quick google search and was surprised to find it was the 2nd anniversary of her passing! She was reaching into my life just as I needed a lot of support. Kindly ol’ Mrs B, as dad always called her. 🌷❣️ Thanks Ett.
Sincere sympathy to Brenda, Faye and Alice and your beautiful families.
I have very happy memories of our neighbourhood on Warren and Wilson. Regards to Barbara Potzel and Wendy Chase who have posted here ! We were quite a free bunch of kids enjoying our youth 😃
I am sad to know that wonderful lady is gone. She gave us all important experiences of belonging. 💐
