Esther graduated from nursing school in 1967 and worked in both Vermont and New York. She enjoyed the experience of raising her children and continued that experience with her grandchildren. She liked to travel. Going to the North East Kingdom in Vermont to visit family or attending a family gathering wherever it may be being a priority for her. The yearly trip with a group of diving and non-diving friends to the Caribbean was always a treat for her. Esther was very artistic and had a passion for sewing and quilting. She enjoyed being with her friends with the same interests as well as entertaining them with brunches and teas. She loved to talk and would engage virtually anyone in a conversation. Esther mostly loved sharing in the joy of others and hearing about what was next for them.This was especially true when chatting with her grandchildren as she loved sharing her childhood stories and hearing about their lives. She was a member of Our Lady of Sorrows Church for 47 years and always enjoyed working with the Catholic Women Conference, Endow and Mary's Meals. Her favorite bible passage is Matthew 11:28. The family would like to thank Guthrie Lourdes Hospice team for their dedicated and compassionate care they provided for our wife/mother/grandmother/sister. A Funeral Mass will be offered on Monday, July 1, at 11 a.m. at Our Lady of Sorrows Church, Vestal. Burial will follow in Calvary Cemetery, Johnson City. The family will receive friends at the church on Monday from 10 a.m. until the time of the Mass. In lieu of flowers, please send a donation to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
