Esther M Klingbiel

Where do I begin? As the eldest of her grandchildren, I guess I have a plethora of memories to draw from. There was her position as choir director at Middleton Baptist; hers and grandpa's insistence that every year, the youngest grandkid, and eventually great-grandkid, would read the Christmas story at their house, be it the house on Schroeder Road or the Harmony Grove house; the family lunches we'd all have together after church on Sundays; I'd say the list could go on and on. Her and grandpa always hosted international students, who were attending UW Madison, so their house was always lively. I miss you, g'ma...

I have great memories of youth group at their house. Esther always had a smile and a hug when I saw her in these later years. They were great examples of faithfulness to follow.

Esther was active at High Point Church when our family attended. She enthusiastically led Awana groups and extended a warm smile and affection to everyone there. When I think of Jesus in skin, I think of how much Esther represented Him faithfully. We are forever grateful to have been a part of her extended kindness and love. What a remarkable woman of faith. Loved her! Linda V

We are saddened by the loss of our dear aunt; however we are comforted to know she is safely in the arms of Jesus and enjoying her heavenly home.

I knew Esther from High Point Church where she was an Awana leader when my two daughters were involved in the program. She was a wonderful lady and will certainly be missed. My deepest sympathy, thoughts & prayers are with the family. Paul R. Blackmon
