January 17, 1924 – June 7, 2018 |
|||
| Esther Byerly, 94, was born January 17, 1924, and died June 7, 2018, at the Anamosa Care Center. She was a life-long resident of Anamosa Iowa.
She was proceeded in death by her husband, Willard, in July of 1976, whom she married in San Francisco in May 1942; by her daughter, Pam Himebaugh in June of 2015; and brother, Robert Byers.
Esther (Esty) is survived by her two sons, Bruce of Dubuque and Warren (Luann) of Marion; and grandchildren, Kristine of Dayton, Ohio, Michael (Jamie) of Rome, Ga., Brad of Augusta, Ga., and Kyle of St. Louis, Mo.; great-grandchildren, Devon, Paige and Ashley; and two great-great-grandchildren.
Esty will be remember as someone quick to laugh and smile and even quicker to give you a hug. She was the “queen of hugs” and found the perfect job for twenty years as a greeter at Walmart. She never met a person she couldn’t hug as her many dear friends, and quite a few strangers, will attest to.
For many Christmas seasons, Esty blessed many children in her favorite role of Mrs. Santa Claus.
Visitation will be at Goettsch Funeral Home in Anamosa Sunday, June 17, from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Services and reception will be held at Anamosa United Methodist Church on Monday, June 18, at 10:30 a.m. Interment to follow at Riverside Cemetery.
