Esther was born on November 30, 1932, in Camajuani, Cuba to the late Justina and Julio Ferrer.
Esther migrated from Cuba in 1967 alongside her husband and two children. She was dedicated to her family and worked tirelessly to make a better life for them in Naples, FL. She enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren and great grandson and cooking for her family. She never knew a stranger and was known for always lending a helping hand to those in need. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
Esther is survived by her daughter, Zoila Pontide (Raul), her five grandchildren, Michael Pontide (Vanessa Smith), Jennifer Pontide (Henry Chavez), Kristina Placeres Gear (Kody), Daniel Placeres (Anabel Medina), Dorian Perez, and her great grandson Kaleb Chavez. She will also be fondly remembered by her godson Ernesto Perez (Steve), and her daughter-in-law Olga Placeres.
She was preceded in death by her son, Pedro A. Placeres and husband, Pedro D. Placeres.
The family is planning a private service to celebrate Esther and Pedro's life and legacy.
In lieu of flowers, the family is asking that donations be made to Vitas Healthcare in their memory, as Vitas took great care to ensure that Esther and Pedro were comfortable in their final days.
