Ethel Lea Hinton

October 15, 2013

On October 12, 2013 God saw that Ethel Lea Hinton was tired and called her home after a short illness at Our lady of the Lake Hospital, Baton Rouge. She was born in Delta, La. on January 7, 1928 to George A, and Dottie Curry Hargrove and was a resident of Ferriday, LA. for 44 Years. She was an active 85 year old Church member of Westside Baptist Church, a former Bell South telephone operator, and a Riverland Hospital CNA. But the most important role of all she held was Mama, Mom, MawMaw Little Maw Maw, and Lake Maw Maw to her children, grandchildren and great- grandchildren. She had a special love for her family, friends, and church members, loved to play dominos, and catch phrase, and she loved to travel so she was always ready to go when she was asked; loved spending time with her family and friends and will be missed terribly by all who knew her and loved her.
