ETHEL TAIT
February 17, 1939 — June 23, 2026
Ethel Tait, a cherished soul whose life was a testament to love and generosity, passed away peacefully on June 23, 2026, at the age of 87. Born on February 17, 1939, in Yeadon, Pennsylvania, Ethel was the beloved daughter of Lyster and Viola.

Ethel was a devoted wife to the late William R. Tait, with whom she shared a beautiful journey of love and partnership. Together, they built a family that became her greatest pride and joy. Ethel is survived by her loving daughters, Heather Tait and Cynthia Tait, who carry forward her legacy of compassion and warmth.
A beacon of affection in her family, Ethel was a doting grandmother to her grandson, Austin Tait, and a great-grandmother to Austin's daughter, Paisley. Her family was the center of her universe, and she cherished every moment spent with them. Ethel often reflected on the countless summers spent at Mount Olivet with her parents and grandparents, weaving those cherished memories into the fabric of her family's traditions. It was her deepest wish that her grandson Austin would one day share these treasured experiences with his daughter Paisley, ensuring the continuation of a legacy of love and togetherness.
Ethel was known for her caring, thoughtful, and loving nature. Her generosity knew no bounds, always extending a helping hand or a kind word to those in need. Her presence was a soothing balm, offering comfort and support to her family and friends alike.
Ethel's life was a celebration of simple joys and heartfelt connections. Her spirit will forever be etched in the hearts of those who were fortunate to know her, leaving behind a legacy that will inspire generations to come.
Ethel Tait's departure leaves a profound void, yet her indomitable spirit and unwavering love will continue to guide and inspire her family and friends. May her soul rest in eternal peace, embraced by the love she so freely gave.
