Esther was born in the Tuscan region of Italy, and moved to Bay View as a young girl. There she met and fell in love with George. After a long courtship that included George's absence while serving in the CCC and US Navy, they married in 1941. Esther was a dedicated mother to five children and, through her homemaking and sweet disposition, created a circle of love for family and friends. She always displayed a determined yet gracious, dignified, and soft-spoken demeanor. She was a caring, kind friend to all she met, unselfishly offering assistance to anyone in need. While loving their time at home, Esther and George shared an appreciation of the outdoors and all wildlife and passed that on to their family. She will be greatly missed and dearly loved always.
