Esther Wunnicke

Mrs. Wunnicke was always kind and thoughtful to me when I was a child in the neighborhood and later to my family. My immense respect for her grew as I did, growing to understand her tireless efforts and contributions to Alaska and it people. I was privileged to know her. We will miss her and our prayers are with Amy, Paula and his family.

Esther was simply an amazing person and friend, terry dale.

I worked with Esther when she was head of Minerals Management Service. I remember her as being very kind and very down to earth. She was a great lady.

Esther and I enjoyed many happy years and interesting experiences together. I will cherish those fond memories and good times forever. Rest in peace my dear friend.

Esther was a friend and an Alaska Mom for me. She was there for me when I moved 5000 miles away from home. I loved her welcoming hospitality and loving heart. She will be missed. Alaska lost a great person the day she went on to heaven.

Esther was a legend to the younger Wunnicke cousins, but regardless she was highly regarded, and her visits were much anticipated and enjoyed. My parents dearly loved her visits and regular, informative letters. She was a truly inspiring woman.

Esther was My late Mother's closest friend and travel companion. Together they went to the Northern Capitols of Europe, explored the ruins of Rome and Greece, sailed the continent of South America, climbed Machu Picchu, to name a few.

Esther's was a treasured friendship to my Mom and our entire family. Alaska is the better for Esther's life and work here. We should all strive to be the kind of person Esther Wunnicke was every day of her life.

Esther Wunnicke was a truly remarkable lady and a priceless Alaskan Treasure whose memory will love on forever.
