ESTHER
died on Saturday, May 19, 2018 at 102 years old. Born Esther Glider on August 8, 1915 and raised in So. Phila., Esther became well-known on "Fashion Row" for her dress store, "Esther's." She was also renowned for her skills as a seamstress, making many outfits, including all of her own clothes; curtains; upholstery; knitting sweaters and blankets; and for her quick wit and loyal friendships. She is predeceased by her first husband, Jack Freedman, her second husband, Morris "Dolly" Katz, and her older daughter, Judy Trachtenberg. She is survived by her younger daughter, Diane Javian, her son-in-law Don Trachtenberg, four grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren.
