She attended schools here and then married Donald "Dutch" Dorion on August 28, 1954. Ethel was a lifelong resident of Rhinelander. She had been employed first by Reeve's Foodlane where she worked in the bakery and was an accomplished cake decorator. She then went to work for Luethold's Clothing for a number of years. She was a longtime member of the Nativity of Our Lord Parish. Ethel enjoyed cross stitching, reading and watching "Westerns", and collecting antiques.
