Esther would stay at home to care for her husband and children, but that did not mean she led a quiet life. Esther was a very active woman in both youth and later on in life. She loved to roller-skate and cross country ski, and along with her husband she travelled the country in their R.V. enjoying all the sights of America.

She knew how to stretch a penny and provide for her family, whom she loved so much. Above all things Esther was a natural caregiver. Her loving and compassionate nature made her a true friend to many and she will be dearly missed by her loving family and many friends.

Predeceasing Esther was her husband Butler H. Pratt Jr., and two brothers; Charles and Ernest Howe.
