Ethel Barrie Lathrop passed away peacefully at Avalon Health Center surrounded by her loving family.
“Chibbie” was born on Sept 27th, 1925, daughter of Frances and Eleanor Barrie of Norwich.
She was united in marriage in 1951 to Richard Lathrop of Stone Ridge in Mystic, who survives her.
She leaves behind her son, Alan Lathrop of Lake Winnipesaukee NH, her daughter, Susan Burns and her husband Rob of Mystic, her grandson Daniel Lathrop and his wife Aly and daughter Cara of Westminster, MA, her granddaughter Heather Greenman and husband Jeff of Newport Coast, CA and her grandson Thomas Burns and wife Sara of Boston. She was predeceased by her brother Francis of Norwich.
Chibbie spent most of her working career in the medical field working many years at Backus Hospital in Norwich, but her real passion was in the arts world. Her many interests in this field culminated in she and her husband opening the “TLC Custom Framing” shop in Taftville which they operated for 10 years.
The family wants to give a very special thanks to all those at Avalon Healthcare Center of Mystic and the women of Beacon Hospice of Southeast Connecticut whose care and compassion was outstanding.
Her family will receive relatives and friends on Sunday, August 18th from 4 to 6pm at the Dinoto Funeral Home, 17 Pearl Street, Mystic.
