Ethel Mae Heasman

It is with profound sadness the family of the late Ethel Mae Heasman, 94, of Port Mouton, Queens County, passed away at home on Friday, May 23rd, 2025 surrounded by her loving family.

Ethel lived an extraordinary life beginning in her early years working at the Morris candy factory. She later worked for Kim Wong’s restaurant and, in her spare time, sold Avon. Ethel held the title for selling the highest amount of Avon on the South Shore. Ethel was on a bowling league for many years, an avid bingo player, loved playing cards and was a faithful follower of the Blue Jays, and was a member of the Port Mouton Baptist Church. Ethel enjoyed doing crafts, loved dancing with her friend Shirley Burgess, and also in her younger years could find her working in her flower garden. She loved putting up her bird feeders and her humming bird feeders so she could watch the birds and feeding her fox Charlie.
