Virginia Nadine Estes

Virginia Nadine Estes, 84, of Amboy, passed away peacefully at 3:02 am on Thursday, January 8, 2026, at Waterford Place Health Campus in Kokomo. She was born on December 17, 1941, in Marion, Indiana, to Tracy and Edith (Coffelt) Wampner. On November 21, 1959, she married the love of her life, Floyd R. Estes, who preceded her in death.
She dedicated her life to her family as a homemaker and took great pride in creating a warm and loving home. She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. Virginia loved spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren, who were her greatest joy.

She is survived by her children, Kenneth (Mary Ann) Estes of Peru, IN, Kathern Faulstich of Kokomo, IN, Scott (Karen) Estes of Amboy, IN, and Karen (Greg) Eller of Kokomo, IN. Her legacy lives on through her many grandchildren, Christopher (Laura) McQuiston, Andrew (Arie) Seagrave, Brandon (Tiffany Jones) Eller, Holly (Brad) Hunter, Tyler (Kiersten) Eller, Hunter (Annie Wipple) Eller, Ron Estes, Jennifer Estes, Arin Hill, BreAnna (Andrew Poor) Hill, Kale (Amber) Bostic, and Jody (Dave) Mitchell; her sister, Lois Kilgore; and numerous great-grandchildren.
Virginia was preceded in death by her parents, Tracy and Edith Wampner; her husband, Floyd R. Estes; her son, Roy Estes; and 12 siblings.
