Estelle "Essie" Lager, 96, passed away peacefully in Jensen Beach, Florida November 9th 2025 surrounded by love. Born in New York City in 1929, Essie lived a long, beautiful life devoted to family, friendship, and kindness. She made her homes in Irvington and Flanders, New Jersey; Coconut Creek, Florida; and most recently, Jensen Beach, Florida, bringing warmth and laughter whenever she lived.
Essie will be remembered for her generous spirit, sharp wit, and gift for making every gathering feel special. She loved her family deeply and found joy in celebrating life's BIG and small moments - sharing stories, cooking favorite meals, and keeping family traditions alive.
She is survived by her four children and their spouses: Ira and Denise Lager of Harrisburg, PA; Laurie Lager Long and her husband John of Berwyn, PA; Robert and CArrie Lager of Doylestown, PA; and Andrew and Young Shin of Jensen Beach, FL. She was the proud grandmother of five and the cherished great-grandmother of eight, each of whom brought her immense pride and happiness.
Essie's love, laughter, and resilience will forever live on in the hearts of those who knew her.
May her memory be a blessing, and her light continue to shine through those she loved.
