Esther Brinkler Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Sun City Center Funeral Home on Nov. 26, 2025.
Esther Falco Brinkler, 99, Wimauma,FL went to be with Jesus Christ on November 24, 2025 from Sun Terrace Rehabilitation Center. Born in New York, New York and raised on her family's farm in Long Island, New York.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Fredrico Falco and Virginia Manzio Falco; and her siblings Frank Falco, Mary Falco, Sam Falco, Dave Falco, and John Falco; and her son Arthur Brinkler; and her husband Arthur T. Brinkler. Esther is survived by her sister, Elizabeth Falco Dawso; and her daughters Virginia Jennings, Marilyn Whitfield, and Linda Orlando; and her grandchildren William Jennings, Samantha Petzold, Leanna Silvestro, Paul Jennings, Tiffany Aguilar, James Orlando, and John Orlando; and her great-grandchildren Jasmine Jennings, Emma Keene, Juliet Jennings, Jacob Keene, Andrew Jennings, Gabrielle Silvestro, Isabella Silvestro, Gwenyth Petzold, Katherine Petzold, Addison Orlando, Ulysses Aguilar, Danielle Orlando, and Sophia Orlando.

She was full of life with a big heart full of love who lived an independent life while taking great care of her family. She was truly the glue that held our family together. She raised her family in Glenham, New York and worked as a hairdresser owning her own beauty shop. Later she moved her family to Tampa, Florida and would selflessly offer her time to help the Veterans Hospital where her husband would receive care in his later years. She also worked a stint at the Kmart in Tampa, Florida. Arthur and Esther eventually moved to Thonotosassa, Florida to live in peace during their golden years. She loved her family immensely with the big heart that God gave her, by always spending time with them at family get-togethers. Eshter also made the best lasagna and homemade meatballs and sauce along with all the seafood every Christmas Eve. Her beautiful spirit and laugh out loud personality will always be remembered and live on in her family's hearts, minds, and souls.

Esther's funeral service will be Friday, November 28th, 2025 12:30pm at The National Cemetery in Bushnell, Florida. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to any Veteran Association of your choosing. Visit the family's personalized online guestbook at [email protected]
