Esther died just short of her 97th birthday at the Penticton Hamlets, where she resided since 2007. She was the last of 14 siblings born to John and Alma Walker. Esther was predeceased by her son Philip William (Bill) in 1979 and grandson Tyson Specht in 2008. She is survived by daughter Sheron Specht, son-in-law Don, grandchildren Alexa Easton (Alan), Ashley Cooper and Gene Cooper and great grandchildren Kaitlyn and Nicola Easton, Madison and Payton Cooper. She is also survived by many nieces and nephews.
Many thanks to Esther`s special doctor, Richard Tatham, who quite literally restored her to enjoyment of life in 2007 by recognizing and effectively treating the little known infection she had then contracted. Her grateful family especially commends the care aides, nurses, and other staff at the Hamlets for their loving, kind and compassionate care of Esther.
