Esther's greatest moments in life were the times spent with her devoted family and friends. She lived for all holidays, but especially Thanksgiving and Christmas where she would spend days on end baking holiday goodies (and big turkeys). She was the 'world's best cook' in the eyes of her family, and the one thing she really missed doing when she was no longer able to entertain. She was proud of her German heritage and loved to dance the polka in her earlier years. She was happiest when she could listen to polka music, played on the accordion, in her remaining years. She looked forward to Bingo days at the home and loved showing off her 'winnings'. She loved Summer, for it meant she could put on a 'color show' of flowers for all to admire as they drove down Clifton St. She loved going out to eat and playing cards with her good friends Betty and Mary Lou, and she was also blessed with wonderful neighbor friends, Linda, and Zeta and Richard, who helped her out in so many ways.
The family would like to extend 'special' thank you’s to Dr. Cearlock and staff for their kindnesses in caring for 'mom' over the last 30 years, and to the care and compassion provided to her and her family by the staff at Northbrook Manor, which served as her home for the past year and a half.
Friends may, if they wish, contribute to a charity of their choice.
