Ettarose Marie Britton, 26, Cromwell, died Thursday, January 7, 2021 in University of Minnesota Hospital, Minneapolis. She was born on June 17, 1994 in Minneapolis to Larry Britton and Tina Gruwell. Etta grew up in the Cromwell area and was blessed with amazing foster parents that cared well for her as she battled cystic fibrosis through the years. Etta truly loved fishing, playing games, puzzles, reading and could be found watching just a "few" episodes of Dr Pol on TV. She also was a huge movie buff and especially loved to take in Disney movies. She was able to take in many trips during her life including: Disney, Discovery Cove, an Alaskan Cruise and a 17 state trip. Etta connected with nature and loved wolves and raising butterflies. She could be a firecracker at times but in the end she knew the love she was given and returned that love exponentially to her family and friends.
Etta was preceded in death by her father: Larry Britton and grandmother: Margaret Etta Britton.
