Ethel Elaine Moorehead

Ethel Elaine Moorehead, a beloved mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, departed this life on August 25, 2026, after a brave but brief battle with cancer. Born on November 25, 1958, in the quaint town of Bamberg, South Carolina, Ethel filled her 67 years with love, laughter, and an indomitable spirit that touched everyone she met. Ethel was the cherished daughter of the late Alma Williams Weeks Sanders and Ernest Harry Weeks. Throughout her life, she embodied the values and warmth imparted by her parents, nurturing a family that reflected her unwavering dedication and compassionate heart. Predeceased by her parents, stepmother Betty Laura Jennings Weeks, brother Ernest Harry Weeks Jr., son-in-law Lomar Luther Blankenship, sister-in-law Pat Weeks, and grandson Donald Blankenship, Ethel now rejoins them in eternal peace. She leaves behind her devoted children, Angela Blankenship and Timothy Moorehead, who, along with his partner Vicky Ferguson, carry forward her legacy of kindness and resilience. Her siblings, Laura Jeffcoat and her husband BJ, Mary Winstead and her husband Ron, and Walter Weeks, will forever cherish the memories of their sister's infectious laughter and unwavering support. Ethel was blessed with the joy of numerous grandchildren: Joey and his wife Megan Caulder, Lexie Blankenship, Ethan Lawson, Star, Tyler, and Adrianna Moorehead, each a testament to her nurturing spirit. Her great-grandchild, Luna Little, continues the family’s lineage and will be ever reminded of her great-grandmother’s enduring love. A private ceremony will be held to honor Ethel’s life and her profound impact on those who knew her. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made in her memory to a charity of your choice, reflecting Ethel's lifelong commitment to giving back and helping others. Though Ethel Elaine Moorehead has left this earthly realm, her spirit lives on in the hearts of her family and friends. She will be deeply missed but lovingly remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
