"To know her was to love her" 

Ethel Stansbury, 81, was a lifetime resident of Morgan City and a one-of a-kind 
lady who was very outgoing and always found the positive side of life. 

Ethel was loved by all and will be sadly missed by all those that knew her. 
Ethel enjoyed every moment of her life. She was a kind and gentle hearted lady 
who lived every day with a smile that could lighten any room. She loved her 
family and enjoyed every moment they spent together. Ethel was the foundation 
and support of her entire family. She was a wonderful wife, a devoted mother, 
grandmother, and a great friend. 

Ethel was a faithful member of Holy Cross Catholic Church. She absolutely loved 
bus trips with the AARP, gathering with her friends for a friendly game of 
cards, and visiting extended family. She was a marvelous cook, who could make 
the ordinary extraordinary. 

Ethel leaves behind to cherish her memories two daughters, Linda and her husband 
Jack Rankin, of Morgan City; Rhonda and her husband Clarence Bergeron, of Houma; 
one brother, John Edward Beadle, of Morgan City; six grandchildren, Melinda 
Busse of Morgan City, David Rankin and his wife, Tracy of Morgan City, Jaclyn 
Breaux and her husband Russell of Morgan City, Rachel , Claire and Brandon 
Bergeron of Houma; four great grandchildren, Dustin Busse, Brooke Rankin, 
Katelyn, and Olivia Breaux; two great great grandchildren, Violet Busse, and 
Conner Rankin. 

Ethel is preceded in death by her husband of 48 years, Gerald Stansbury; her 
parents Edward and Edna Beadle; her sisters, Hilda Beadle, Mrs. Elby Fangue 
(Winnie), Mrs. Robert King (Edna Mae), Mrs. Louis Tamporello, Sr. (Doris); and 
her brothers, Thomas and Carroll Beadle.

A time of remembrance and reflection will be at Hargrave Funeral Home, Tuesday, 
Aug. 31, 2010 from 6 pm until 9 pm continuing Wednesday at Hargrave Funeral Home 
at 9 am until dismissal at 10.30am. A Mass of Christian Burial will then be 
conducted at Holy Cross Catholic Church Wednesday at 11 am. Ethel will be laid 
to rest in the Morgan City Cemetery.
