Esther Marie Hellermann, 72, of Manorville, NY, passed away on September 23, 2025, surrounded by her loving family.
Esther was born in Manhattan, NY to the late Sabato and Teresa (Lettieri) Caputo on February 2, 1953. She is survived by her beloved husband of 49 years, Mark, their two daughters and husbands, Teressa Brown (Michael) and Marissa Figueroa (Jon). She was the adoring Grandmother ("Nana") to Christian, Jared and Austin, cherished sister to Anna and Carol, and the loving Aunt to many nieces and nephews. In addition to her parents, she was predeceased by her brother Charles. Family was everything to Esther, and she was everything to her family.
Esther lived her life with full faith in the Lord. She touched so many lives by sharing this faith, along with her love and encouragement. A beautiful soul in so many ways, to know Esther was to love her. While the loss that we feel can never be fully healed, we take comfort in knowing that her last breath with us here on Earth became her first breath with the Lord in Heaven.
"Because He lives, I can face tomorrow, because He lives, all fear is gone. Because I know, He holds my future, and life is worth the living, just because He lives..."
203 Main Street P.O. Box 603, Center Moriches, NY 11934
