She grew up in Montana and Oregon, and graduated from Grants Pass High School. She attended Biola University in California. She joined the Cadet Nursing Program and attended Whitworth University where she graduated with her degree as a Registered Nurse. While at Whitworth she met the love of her life. She and Virgil married on December 12, 1947. Together they raised four children: Melanie, Stephanie, Wendy and Joel. They lived and worked the family farm adjacent to Crab Creek for 40 years before moving into Ritzville. Ester continued her nursing career for almost 30 of those years at Ritzville Memorial Hospital, and Ritzville Medical Clinic. Many of those years she worked night shift so that she could be home with the children and help with the farm work. There were always chickens to butcher, livestock to care for, meals to prepare for farm workers, laundry, equipment parts to pick up, and countless other duties to help the farm run smoothly. All this and driving 30 mile round trips to work as a nurse. Ester was an excellent cook and homemaker. While she was not raised with or familiar with the German culture, she rapidly embraced it and became very skilled in the craft of making many traditional staples, including german sausage, cabbage rolls, runza and pfeffernusse. She took sewing classes and became an accomplished seamstress and quilter. She found great joy in sewing clothes and making quilts, and was always on the lookout for special fabrics. She had a keen eye for matching patterns and designing quilt tops. As a member of several quilt clubs, she provided hundreds of quilts for various charitable organizations over the years. She always had a large garden and raised beautiful vegetables. Virgil was a big fan of all types of fruit, and would often make trips to bring home many varieties of fruit. Together they canned, froze and preserved both fruit and vegetables for the long winters. Visitors to the farm could always count on a dish of fruit and a plate of cookies, mixed with lively conversations. Virgil passed away in 2010, after 63 years of marriage. Ester stayed in the house in Ritzville for one year before moving to Minneapolis, MN. She lived very happily for almost seven years before slipping away on February 3, 2018 from this life to join Virgil on his birthday for eternity. They are survived by their four children: Melanie Hein, Stephanie Hein, Wendy (David) Knight, and Joel (Helen) Hein; eight grandchildren; 10 great-grandchildren; and many cousins, nieces and nephews.
