Estella was one the kindest people you could ever meet. Her love of nature was only surpassed by her love of her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She had an internal strength that was an inspiration to her family. She was gentle, caring, compassionate and she had a wonderful sense humour. She was a very spiritual person, both in prayer and the way she lived her life. She was the true example of “a child of God” and although she has now gone home to Him, she will sadly be missed by those who treasured the time she spent with them here.
She was pre-deceased by a son, Jean, brothers; Gerald, Oswald, Valmond, sisters; Cécile and Evangéline.
