Esther Kathryn Nickel was born January 20, 1920 in Gotebo, Oklahoma. She died Wed., Aug. 31, 2005, at her home at the age of 85. At an early age her family moved to a farm just south of Inola, where she grew up attending a small country school. Later she attended Inola High School where she graduated with honors.
Esther was a young teenager when she accepted Christ as her Saviour while attending the Mennonite Brethren Church. It was during the social events at the church that she met and eventually married Edwin Nickel in 1941. Their life together included the raising of five children along with numerous work-related adventures. These included farming early on, and operating a feed store in downtown Inola in the late 1950's, where Esther kept the books and ran the front office.
Always a mother first, Esther was a tremendous homemaker. She was always gardening, sewing, and most notably cooking. She was well known for her pies, breads and jellies. Later when the youngest children were old enough, she worked seventeen years at the Longhorn Café, where the townspeople came to enjoy her cooking as well.
Esther was known for her smile and gentle, loving nature. She never had a cross word for anyone. She enjoyed her Sunday school class and singing in the choir.
