Children , she was the youngest of five who survived to adulthood. Her parents were Hunter pioneers, Elizabeth Jane Russell and Laronzo Day.
Of the family, one sister, Irene Day Fuelner 99, of Hunter, survives.
She spent the first half of her life in Hunter. She married her childhood sweetheart, Heber Eugene Ridd in 1920. They were married for 66 years before he passed away at 86 in a tragic auto/pedestrian accident in Las Vegas.Nev. in which Etta was severely injured also.
They had nine children, all born while living in Hunter.they are Donald Eugene Ridd-deceased, Leon (Lucille) Floretta Christensen (Rulon) R. Duanne Ridd (Janet ) , Dr.Merrill K. (Joyce ) ,Dale (Marta) Larmar D. (Gwen deceased , now Jean) Santa Clara , Ut. Gordon L. ( Susan )and

Except for an L.D.S. Mission with her husband in Hawaii, Etta spent the second half of her life as a resident of Holladay, Utah, where she delighted in her genelogy and quilting lovely baby quilts for each grandchild as they started their families . Gardening, sharing the produce with others and church activities were dear to her heart. She became an accomplished painter at age 70, and her children treasure many beautiful pictures.
Her family will always cherish her example of righteous living, and above all her love of the Lord. The world was truly a better place for her having been here!
I am so thankful for the time I lived with her and the lessons she taught me . They prepared me for my future and how to handle life's trials
To live each day to the fullest , yesterday is the past and tomorrow may not come. So all we really have is today! She was known for her home aid bread and marshmallows. Everything tasted better because she made it.
She always ask what she could for you. And prayed for each one of us !
She was an elect lady!
