She was an avid animal lover and acknowledged pet groomer. She spent many years training and riding horses in Dressage as well as general pleasure. Many of her best friends were also dressage enthusiasts. When Scottsdale eliminated Cholla Park in the 1980’s to allow for runway expansion to handle jets, Esther was one of a small active group from the Arizona Dressage Association that built a dressage arena with private funds at a nearby site. This was the very beginning of Westworld. Esther was very fond of her Australian Shepherds. She leaves an extensive family in Phoenix as well as many friends that will miss her for she was a true friend herself.
