Estella worked at Fayette Memorial Hospital for 29 years.  Her faith always played an important role in her life. She was a member of St. Paul Lutheran Church, Ladies Aid, and American Legion.  She loved to cook and bake – lemon and pineapple jelly rolls were her specialty.  She kept beautiful flower gardens that were the envy of the neighborhood, and she enjoyed embroidery and loved all babies.  Through the years, many mothers-to-be received hand embroidered baby blankest and bibs made lovingly by her hands.  She was deeply loved and will be greatly missed.
