We are so sorry to hear of Esther’s passing. She was a true lady. Gene square danced with them for 40 years. Ken, we think of you often. Friends forever, Gene and Sandy Littrell

My thoughts and prayers go to the Scholle family. Esther and Ken were our neighbors for many many years and our bus stop was at their driveway. They always allowed us to play in their yard and my mom and dad said Esther used to babysit us when we were small. This was very sad news to me as just a couple of years ago she sent me old pictures of me riding horses in their yard. May God ease everyone’s pain and help rejoice in her life.

I think about Esther many times for all the wonderful times I had with her when we were neighbors…I wish I had her recipe for those amazing stuffed banana peppers she made with the kraut stuffing. She was a lovely, kind, gentle woman that I’m sure is an angel in Gods heaven…
