Estella was born and raised in Clayton for 17 years where she attended Clayton High School before moving to Franklinville 70 years ago. She worked in the glass industry for over thirty years as a selector and packer with Kimble Glass until her retirement in 1999.
Estella enjoyed many things in life. When she was younger, she had won swimming trophies at Iona Lake. She enjoyed all types of sports but was especially a fan when it came to the Phillies and Eagles. When Estella would sit back, relax, and watch TV, it would always be on the Life Time and Hallmark channels. She was a supporter of the local police and fire departments, as well as the Wounded Warriors, and would often make donations to them. Estella will be deeply missed by many.
