Esther was a very spiritual, religious and caring woman. She was loved and adored by all those close to her. She had a passion for gardening, sewing, hard work, and her church. She loved music, as she came from a very musically inclined family, but played no instrument herself. She gave generously, loved completely, and will be missed eternally.
