With great Love and great grief, we share that Ethel K. Sobolik passed away on December 1, 2025, at the age of 96 in the home she shared with her son and daughter in law in Great Falls, MT. Ethel was born to Daniel W. Potter and Anna (Kerr) Potter on February 23, 1929, the youngest of ten children in Granville, North Dakota.
Ethels father moved his family to Sidney, Montana in 1931, and Ethel was raised by her father and her older sisters in the depths of the Great Depression. She learned thriftiness, hard work, honor and a love of the Lord from her father, whom she adored all of her days. A Sidney High School graduate, Class of 1947, Ethel was full of fun and ready for adventure, which she found when she moved to Seattle Washington. She found life to be exciting in post-World War II Seat
