She absolutely adored her family. Ethel was an inspiration to her family and taught them a great deal about quiet strength, dedication, integrity, love, faith, trust, hope and forgiveness with her words and ways. She always had the best sense of humor about everyday life and was blessed with the straightforward ability to just simply stop and smell the flowers. Ethel was one of nine children.

Ethel's artistic nature surfaced periodically throughout her life leaving her family with some incredibly unique and cherished pieces of work. Glass etching and making mandalas were a few of her specialties. Ethel is survived by her husband of 54 years, Jim Sandberg; one son, Jimmie Sandberg; one daughter, Carol Sandberg; three brothers, Alfred Byrd, Kenneth Byrd and Jerry Byrd and two grandchildren, Reid and Ryan. She is preceded in death by her parents; three brothers, Jimmy Byrd, Richard Byrd, Clarence Byrd and two sisters, Yvonne Varner and Elsie Byrd.

She also had a special place in her heart for all of her dogs. Gypsy and Shadow and Axl and Tootsie were home with her when she passed. The immense love for Ethel is shared by many cousins, nieces, and nephews as well. Ethel was a sweet, happy, incredibly special lady that will be greatly missed by those that knew her. Truly an amazing soul; they just don't make them like her anymore. A Special Thank You from the family to all of her friends that have reached out to us. You can Rest easy now Mom, be at peace ?
