Esta Janet Sweet

She was the youngest child of the late Phillip and Anna Greenberg and sister of the late Barbara Gloss and Leon Greenberg.

Esta was the cherished wife and leaves behind her devoted husband of 72 years, Harold Sweet. She also leaves behind her loving children, Richard Sweet and wife, Alicia and Diane Sweet and partner, Carlos Castillo. She remembered until her last days the granddaughters she adored, Adina Ashawini (Sweet Vickery) Maniscalco and Erika (Sweet) Nugiel. Her last moment of joy and delight was learning that Erika and her husband, Max, had given her a great-granddaughter, Eve Maya Nugiel.

She also leaves her dear nieces and nephews and their children who will always hold special places in their hearts for funny, creative Auntie Esta.

During her life living in Winthrop by the Sea, Esta made her career as a legal secretary in Boston. Her recreational time was mostly spent helping to create and participate in numerous events in support of Winthrop’s Jewish Community. She and Harold truly enjoyed socializing with these friends. Together they enjoyed travelling and making memories. No matter where she was or who she was with, she was well-known for her wit and humor.

Upon retirement, Esta recreated herself and her unique way of seeing the world by taking art classes at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, becoming an accomplished painter and member of Winthrop’s Art Association. Her work was loved and displayed by those in Winthrop and Florida.

Esta Sweet will be greatly missed for these special qualities she brought to the world by all who knew her.
