She leaves behind memories forever etched in the minds of those who loved her and came to know her. A woman born into a family of 5 children, second to the oldest taking on a role of caretaker for the family at a very young age. Throughout Esther’s life she provided generously to loved ones and to many of her favorite charities. She spent her entire working life at the New York Housing Authority as an Administrator, retiring as a respected and appreciated employee. In her spare time she had a passion for the theater, reading and writing, she enjoyed having discussions on current events and especially enjoyed being around children, which would always bring a smile to her face. It is Esther’s smile, eternal warm blessings for others and kindness that will be sadly missed but never forgotten.
