\nShe was known for her cinnamon rolls with relatives coming for holidays and asking for a batch to take home. Shes was also well known for her rug hooking, being a founding member of La-Cooperative Artisanale de Cheticamp, where she served as a director for many years.
\nEthel is survived by her children, G\u00e9las Deveaux (Yvette), Marc Deveaux (Susan), Claude Deveaux (Paula), and Bernard Deveau (Judy); grandchildren, Jennifer, Tina, and Kevin; and great-grandchildren, Bentley and Bryce Bolden.
