Esther and James lived in Yoakum before moving to Austin, Texas. She later moved to Dallas, Texas to live with her daughter Sharon. Esther worked at the “old” Seton Hospital and the “new” Seton Medical Center devoting over 30 years of her life to expectant mothers in the Labor and Delivery department of Seton. In recognition of her ability she was promoted to head nurse of L&D which she served with capability, integrity and courteousness. To fulfill the requirements of that position she returned to school and received her Bachelor of Science degree from Saint Edwards University in August of 1976. After many years of dedicated service she retired from nursing in December, 1990.
While living in Austin, she was a member of Prince of Peace Lutheran Church, St. John’s Lutheran Church, and finally Bethany Lutheran Church. She was an active member at each church, serving her church family through the St. Stephens ministry in later years.
Esther is survived by her two daughters, Sharon Sommerfeldt, and husband Craig, and Susan Palmer; her beloved grandson, James-Douglas Buck Palmer, and fiancé Nicole Barnes; and her two nephews, Allan Anderson, and wife Kay, and Gary Anderson, and wife Kim; and numerous friends. The family expresses their deepest appreciation for the care provided to Esther by her daughter Sharon and the staff of VITAS Hospice of Dallas.
