  remembered for her appreciation of all things "homemade." Her artistic 
  creativity can be seen in her sewing ability, which included clothing, 
  draperies, upholstery, and quilting. She also was quite accomplished as a 
  craftswoman in basket weaving, chair caning, bargello, painting, wallpapering, 
  and furniture refinishing. Esther shared these talents with her family and 
  friends. Esther was a very active individual who enjoyed "doing stuff" and 
  hearing about the travels of her family. She lived most of her life in Lebanon 
  County, except for the last five years spent in Richmond Hill, Ga., and during 
  WWII, when she worked for the War Department in Elmira, N.Y., and New York 
  City. She was retired from Haak Bros. Dept. Store in Lebanon. Esther was a 1935 
  graduate of Lebanon High School, and until her relocation to Georgia, actively 
  participated in the reunion committee. She was a lifelong member of St. Mark's 
  United Church of Christ in Lebanon, bur during her years living in Georgia 
  attended Richmond Hill United Methodist Church. Funeral services will be held 2 
  p.m. Sunday, February 13, 2011, at St. Mark's U.C.C. in Lebanon, with the 
  family receiving friends during the hour preceding the service. Burial will be 
  in Mt. Lebanon Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, the family requests remembrances 
  to St. Mark's U.C.C., 8th and Mifflin Sts., Lebanon, PA 17046. Christman's 
  Funeral Home, Inc. is honored to serve the family with the arrangements.
