Esther was born in San Antonio, Texas on January 13, 1929 to Herbert and Ella Reimann. She was raised in San Antonio and attended school at Incarnate Word. She and her late husband Bob McHardy attended University of Colorado in Greeley, where they both completed Master's degrees. After returning to Texas, Esther and Bob eventually settled on a farm outside of Bracken, Texas. Esther was a dedicated teacher and educator of young children for over 30 years at Walzem Elementary in San Antonio. Esther and Bob retired on Padre Island and spent many happy years walking the beach and spending time with family and friends.

Esther (“Gigi”) loved cooking, gardening, playing bridge and spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Gigi will be missed by so many, we wish her everlasting rest and peace in her Lord’s arms and we thank her for the loving family she raised and all of the wonderful memories we have.
