There is some confusion regarding Ethel's surname and the identity of her parents.

The joint headstone for Ethel and her husband shows a surname of "Fitch", but Ethel's obituary and her death certificate both show that Ethel had a surname of "Fitchpatrick". Ethel's obituary showed that her husband's surname was "Fitchpatrick", but her husband's death certificate and his obituary both show that his surname was "Fitch".

Ethel's death certificate and her obituary both identify Ethel's parents as Bremtet Fitch and Alice Williams. The Rest Haven Cemetery book identifies Ethel's parents as George Williams and Alice _____ and Find-A-Grave contributor Judy Lynn (contributor #47402250 [email protected]) submitted a suggested edit which linked Ethel to George B. Williams and Sarah Alice Adkins as her parents.

Ethel's name has been shown on this memorial as Ethel (Williams) Fitch, but perhaps it should be shown as Ethel (Fitch) Fitchpatrick?

Married Lilburn Fitch and they were the parents of Robert Fitch, Willie Lee Fitch, Dorothy M. (Fitch) Wooten, Katherine (Fitch) Barton, Margie (Fitch) Wooten, Annie M. (Fitch) Wade, and Wanda V. (Fitch) Chandler.
