She was born to the late James (Bub) and Berna Rogers in Wawanesa, MB on August 22, 1938. Ethel had an interesting life. She was raised in Wawanesa and then joined the military at eighteen where she met her future husband Ed. They moved across Canada with their growing family living the military life. After retiring, they started a new life in Medicine Hat in the bowling industry where they developed many new and lifelong friendships. They eventually settled in Calgary and continued their careers in the bowling industry.

Family and friends were Ethel’s passion and delight. In her retirement, she loved when family and friends came to visit, walking and being in nature except for those damn squirrels.
