Estelle was known for loving her church, spoiling her grandchildren, and cooking for everyone. Every Christmas, you could count on Estelle having a buffet of desserts to choose from. Her favorite being chocolate pie with the biggest meringue you have ever seen. When she wasn’t whipping up treats, you could find her playing with her grandkids. She delighted in spoiling them all!  She was a highly dedicated woman to her church. She spent many hours at the Seventh-Day Adventist Church where she volunteered with VBS and Sabbath School. She raised her children and grandchildren to focus on the church and to do good deeds for others.  Her family would like to thank the staff of Westview Manor in McGregor and Providence Hospice for the wonderful care they provided to her during her stay.
