Ethel Mae Vinson was born July 10, 1949 in Junction City, Kansas to George, Sr. and Willie B. (Ford) Vinson. They have preceded her in death.

Ethel attended Geary County USD #475 schools and graduated. She spent her entire life in the area. She raised her three children in Junction City and she worked on Fort Riley in the Dining Facilities for eight years until she was injured. Ethel never returned to work.
