According to Eathel's memorial on Findagrave, her father was Green Wilson. That matches with a 1900 Missouri census for Eathel, with the same month and year of birth as her California death and Social Security records.

Green Wilson died in Dawson, Tulsa, Oklahoma on 23 June 1931.
https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/44872030/a-wilsonThere is a short newspaper death notice; I've linked it to his profile.
There are also several newspaper articles in the 1920s mentioning that his sons were visiting. Edgar and Claude were mentioned by name to confirm the connection.
From the Oklahoma Dept of Health Death Index

Eathel's mother married two more times. I've found those marriages, and her death, in California, in 1944.
Attaching everything to the related profiles in the FS tree.
The obituary for Eathel's mother names her children.
https://www.genealogybank.com/nbshare/AC01100711225640281771782598954The name of Eathel's mother on the Findagrave memorial conflates two wives of Green Wilson. I've submitted a correction.

Hi, thank you for all your help. Did you happen to know who Green A Wilson's parents were? (Ethyl's Grandparents on her dad's side. If not, that's totally fine. All I know is that his mom was from Tennessee and his dad was from North Carolina.

If you look at the various censuses attached to Green, you will see inconsistencies in the states of birth of his parents.
I do not know the names of his parents. His multiple marriage records do not have the names of his parents. He died before Social Security, and Oklahoma death certificates are not online.1 -
According to the Linn County Daily, October 2, 1924, Mr. Green Wilson of Dawson, OK, had two sisters: Mrs. Robert Randall and Miss Martha Wilson. Martha’s death certificate is available to view at Missouri’s Bureau of Vital Statistics — Her sister acted as informant, stating that their parents were Alfred and Dulcina Nichols Wilson.

Thanks @floresmisst
Alfred and Dulcina were a couple I had looked at as possible parents based on proximity and other connecting dots, but I had not been able to confirm. In the census, when Alfred and Dulcina were living, a child who could be Green is enumerated as Alfred G Wilson. In some later records, Green Wilson is listed as Green A Wilson. It's not unusual for first and second given names to be swapped, especially when the father has the same given name.
Alfred, Dulcenia, Sidney, Martha, Amanda, Rebecca, and Alfred G (age 3) in 1860:

Thanks to @floresmisst's newspaper research, I've connected Green to his parents and siblings on the FS Tree, and I've submitted a request to connect his memorial on Findagrave to his mother's memorial.1 -
