She was a remarkable cook, to the point where her walnut fudge recipe was on the wish list of many who knew her. She was an accomplished artist—Esther was a graduate of the old Massachusetts’ College of Art of Boston. She was an Impressionist, Sketch artist, who did work on her own and by commission.
