Ethel Hopewell Corbett
 Goldsboro
– Ethel Hopewell Corbett, 85, went to be with her Lord on Easter
Sunday, March 23, 2008 at Kitty Askins Hospice Center surrounded by
her family.
Ethel was born in Wayne County on October 12, 1922 to the late
George C. Hopewell and Rena Best Hopewell. She graduated from New
Hope High School and retired from Barry of Goldsboro. She was a
member of Woods Grove Pentecostal Free Will Baptist Church and
enjoyed preparing and sharing meals and desserts with family and
friends. Until her health declined, she was often found “picking,
gathering, and freezing” the harvest Alton, her husband, planted.
The family will receive friends Tuesday, March 25, 2008 from 2:30 –
3:30 p.m. at Seymour Funeral Home with a service to celebrate her
life at 3:30 p.m. in the chapel of Seymour Funeral Home Chapel with
Rev. Mike Grady officiating. Interment will follow at Wayne Memorial
Park. At other times, the family will be at the home of Jackie and
Sandra Waddell, 510 Morgan Trace Lane, Goldsboro.
She was preceded in death by her husband of 61 years, Alton Leo
Corbett; sisters, Nora Holloman and Tiny Hopewell; and brothers, Jim
Hopewell and Bruce Hopewell.
Ethel is survived by her daughter, Sandra C. Waddell and her
husband, Jackie of Goldsboro; her grandson, Joel Shelton Waddell and
wife, Emily of Goldsboro; a great-granddaughter, Carlee Addison
Waddell, expected to be born today, her sister, Ruth Mozingo and
husband, Melvin of Goldsboro; a special niece, Virginia Hare of
Goldsboro, and many other nieces and nephews.
Ethel has been especially blessed to have had a faithful and
supportive extended family including: Edna DuBois, Norma Weaver,
Janet and Griffin Price, Linda and Ronald Edwards, Gary and Joy
Corbett of Goldsboro; Gene and Hester Corbett of Fuquay Varina, and
Gordon and Jolene Corbett of Walhalla, SC.
