She was a resident of Portage County since 1947. Esta’s spiritual life began early and continued throughout her life.

Upon retirement, Esta volunteered at Robinson Memorial Hospital, working with the chaplain, as well as counseling individuals and groups through the community. She unfailingly shared her faith with all who met her.
