HISTORY: Ethelle was born and raised on a farm in Ponto Lake Township in Cass County and graduated from Backus High School in 1948. She married Wallace Probst soon after graduation and over the next few years they were blessed with three children.

In 1973, Ethelle married Ray Falck. Ray’s job required moving to various locations across the country. They embraced their many moves as an adventure and experience and made friends wherever they went. Ethelle and Ray enjoyed a full and happy life together until his death in 2018.

Ethelle had many interests including music, choir, church activities, dancing, sewing, quilting and along with Ray, sharing good times with their many friends.

Ethelle enjoyed everything musical. She loved to sing, dance and play the piano and passed this love of music on to her children.

Above all else, family was the most important facet of Ethelle’s life. Being a wife, mom and grandmother was clearly her calling and she fulfilled that role with unlimited compassion, a quick wit, ready laughter, and a heart overflowing with love. No mother could have given more hugs, encouragement, support and unconditional love to her children. Heaven is her reward and she is at peace in the arms of Jesus. A blessing to so many, she will forever be in our hearts.
