1929 - 2025

Esther Faith Sarner Richman, age 95, resident of La Grange, Tennessee and wife of the late Monroe Richman, departed this life Monday afternoon, April 7, 2025 at her home.

Esther was born June 5, 1929 in Utica, New York, the daughter of the late Samuel Hyman Sarner and Dora Goldstone Sarner. She graduated from Syracuse University in New York and was a homemaker for much of her life. She was married to Monroe Richman, who preceded her in death, and was a resident of Hawaii for 30 years.

Esther, affectionately known as “Queenie”, enjoyed socializing, being a hostess and entertainer, traveling, painting, flowers, gardening, playing Mahjong and eating anything sweet, especially chocolates. She loved her grandchildren. She was always “dressed to the nines” and fond memories were of her and her husband dancing together.
