On July 3, 1944, Ethel was united in marriage to Floyd "Bucko" Dreger, "the love of her life," at Holy Cross Catholic Church, Kaukauna.

She was an active member with the Moose Lodge, Kaukauna, and Lady K-C's.
She was an avid card player; enjoyed bowling and loved to travel. Most of all she was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend.
In addition to her loving husband Floyd of 64 wonderful years, Ethel is further survived by her two daughters, Sharon (Larry) Woldt and Pam (Jeff) Kelly, both of Kaukauna; five grandchildren, Lisa Stevens, Appleton; Stacey Woldt, Glendale Heights, IL; Aaron (Tammy) Woldt, Alpena, MI; Sean (Angie) Kelly, De Pere, WI; Brian (special friend Katy Kordus) Kelly, Brookfield, WI; four great-grandchildren, Spencer Stevens, Noah and Morgan Woldt, and soon to be born baby Kelly; numerous nieces, nephews, and other relatives and friends.
