Maria Ester had a great sense of humor, was a wonderful storyteller and worked hard her whole life as a housekeeper and cook to support my father through school despite having a second grade education herself. Catherine Joan was a woman of many talents; a seamstress who made matching clothes for all 4 of her daughters and costumes for local plays and later a small planes pilot and pilot instructor at a time where few women had careers at all.
