Ethel Bunke, 79 of Rushford, died Saturday, November 24, 2012 at home surrounded by her family.

Ethel was a loving wife and mother of 9 children. She loved to cook and take care of her family. It was a priority to raise her children with a strong Christian faith. Ethel worked side by side with Willy on the farms, and at Bunke Sales. Their love endures forever and her laughter will be missed by all.

Ethel is preceded in death by her parents; brother, Donald McElmury; 2 sons, Richard & Ronald; granddaughter, JoNelle Bunke and great-grandson, Jackson Schneider.
Funeral Service will be 11 a.m., Tuesday, November 27, 2012 at St. Mark's Lutheran Church with Reverend Merlin Stephan officiating. Burial will follow at St. John's Cemetery in Hart. Following the funeral, a meal will be served at the American Legion in Rushford.
