I work at the Salmon Run Mall for 30 years still there. Esther worked right along with her husband and son's. This lady worked so hard out in the snow in the backhoe for years. She could run that machine like no other. Esther was the most dedicated hard-working lady. She worked up to a few years ago. She would always beat me to work. lol Would always meet me in the parking lot to let me know it was all good. If we needed her to call her.
She was the sweetest. With lots of spunk, she will be missed. Our condolences to her entire family RIP Esther
