Esther enjoyed visiting with her family and friends, especially spending time with her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. She loved doing crafts; she always had a new creation to give to the grandchildren or had time to show them how to enjoy using their imagination in making their own original piece of art.
Esther passed after a long illness with acute leukemia.
She is survived by her four children: Marcelline (Roland) Marquardt of Las Vegas, Nevada; DuWayne (Lugene Theel) Herrboldt of Lesterville, South Dakota; Rosemarie Schamber of Lincoln, Nebraska and Patricia (Arlo) Rohlfs of Akron, Iowa; 12 grandchildren, 10 great grandchildren, with one on the way; two step grandchildren and two step-great grandchildren; sisters, Gertie Mettler of Menno, South Dakota and Dorothy (Orville) Huber of Emery, South Dakota, and a host of nephews and nieces.
She was preceded in death by her parents, brother and sister-in-law (Elmer & Elaine Wollman), brother-in-law (Clifford Mettler), and two step grandchildren (Michael Rohlfs and Ashley Hamerly).
The family would like to express their appreciation for everyone that donates to their local blood bank, as donations keep loved ones alive.
Memorials to be directed to the family.
