ETHEL TAIT

February 17, 1939 — June 23, 2026

Ethel Tait, a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, peacefully departed this world on June 23, 2026. Born on February 17, 1939, in Yeadon, Pennsylvania, Ethel was the cherished daughter of Lyster and Viola. Her life was a testament to the virtues of love, kindness, and generosity, qualities she shared abundantly with everyone fortunate enough to know her. Ethel's journey through life was beautifully intertwined with that of her husband, William R. Tait, with whom she shared a deep and enduring partnership. Together, they raised two wonderful daughters, Heather and Cynthia, who carry forward their mother's legacy of compassion and warmth. Ethel was also the proud grandmother of Austin Tait, whose life she touched profoundly, and her spirit will continue to live on in her great-granddaughter, Paisley. One of Ethel's greatest joys was spending summers at Mount Olivet, a cherished family tradition passed down from her parents, Lyster and Viola. These summers were filled with laughter, love, and the joy of togetherness, creating memories that would last a lifetime. Ethel took immense pleasure in sharing this special place with her children and grandson, Austin. Her heartfelt wish was for Austin to one day share these treasured experiences with his daughter, Paisley, ensuring the continuation of this family legacy. Ethel was known by all who met her as a caring, thoughtful, and loving soul. Her generosity knew no bounds, and she never hesitated to offer a helping hand or a kind word. Her presence was a source of comfort and strength, and her unwavering support uplifted those around her. While Ethel's physical presence will be profoundly missed, her spirit will forever remain in the hearts of her family and friends. Her life was a beacon of love and kindness, a legacy that will continue to inspire those she touched. Ethel Tait's memory will be cherished by all who knew her, and her spirit will continue to illuminate the lives she touched. May she rest in peace, embraced by the love she so generously shared during her time with us.
