Chicago Heights has lost one of its brightest lights with the passing of Ethel Johnson on May 24, 2023. Born on New Year's Day in 1947, Ethel lived a long and vibrant life.

She was a beloved member of the community, known for her quick wit and infectious smile. Ethel never met a stranger and had a knack for making everyone around her feel at ease.

When she wasn't cracking jokes and spreading her joy, Ethel could be found volunteering at the local food bank or cheering on the Cubs at Wrigley Field. She loved nothing more than giving back to her neighbors and making a positive impact on the world.

Ethel is survived by her loving children and grandchildren, who will miss her dearly. To honor her memory, they plan to continue her legacy of kindness and community service.

Rest in peace, Ethel. Your light will continue to shine on in our hearts.
