Esther was born in Miraj, India, where her father was a medical missionary. The family returned to the US when she was 17. After graduating from Wellesley and then the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing, Esther worked as a relief nurse in Lahore, Pakistan, and there married Clarence Falk. Later they settled on a farm in Dummerston, Vt., and raised their daughters, and Esther began her lifelong service to the community. (Recent example: a “custard mission,” delivering homemade custards to ailing neighbors.) As a dedicated gardener, she always raised fruits, vegetables, and flowers galore. At age 92, she developed her hobby of designing note cards featuring her own hand-pressed blossoms into a business. Dear, wonderful Esther died of a heart attack while walking through snow on her beloved farm.
