Ethel Harris Anderson, 93, passed away March 13, 2022, at her residence. She was born July 27, 1928, in rural Reno County, to Henry Charles and Lettie Anetta (Hipp) Luellen.
In 1942, Ethel married James Harris. He passed away in 1968. She married E.O. 'Bub' Maynard in 1971. He passed away in 1972. On February 7, 1976, Ethel married Robert 'Bob' G. Anderson, in Arlington, KS. He passed away on January 31, 2006.
She is survived by: her children, Betty (Larry) Bishop of Arlington, KS, James J. (Joyce) Harris of Langdon, KS, Louise Rinebold of Cańon City, CO, and Ruth Daharsh of Americus, KS; stepchildren, Karen Maynard Smith of Nathrop, CO, Marlene Anderson (Jim) Roth of Rockwell, TX, and Galen (Debbie) Anderson of Newton, KS; twelve grandchildren; sixteen great-grandchildren; and several great-great-grandchildren.
Ethel was preceded in death by: her parents; husbands, James Harris, E.O. Maynard, and Robert G. Anderson; three sisters; and two brothers.
Ethel's childhood was simple and humble, often times not even having a permanent home. She was married at a young age to James Harris with whom she raised four children. Following his death, she married Bub Maynard, and following his death, she married Bob Anderson. Those marriages brought in stepchildren who were lovingly added to her family.
Ethel self-taught herself to crochet using baling wire and string from a feed sack. She also taught herself to sew and took knitting lessons. Ethel's handiwork has gone around the world to men in service and children. She was a member of Stitch-N-Chat Crochet Angels of Hutchinson. Ethel made numerous items of clothing for her family. In addition, she also sewed matching clothing for her daughters' dolls. She crafted quilts, afghans, dollies, bedspreads, tablecloths, and many other items. Often times her family considered her a Master Craftsman, although she would not make that claim.
Ethel enjoyed being involved in the farm as well as her family. She enjoyed working outside the home, including cooking for the grade school, Carolyn's, helping out at the Pastime and Haven Grocery, and other places.
