Read More	Esther Yurick, 92, passed away in her home in Billings on Jan. 14, 2013, surrounded by her loving family. Esther was born on Jan. 3, 1921, in Saskatchewan, Canada, to Johann and Theresa Braunstadter. Esther was the ninth of 14 children. In 1923 the family moved first to Oregon, then to Montana. Esther graduated from Park City High School and in 1940 she married George Weis. They were married for 21 years and had 11 children. After divorcing George in 1961 with eight children still at home, Esther began working in a nursing home. Soon after, she went to nursing school, graduating in 1965 as a licensed practical nurse. Esther enjoyed her nursing career and worked for many years at a hospital and a nursing home, retiring in 1978. Esther had great strength and courage throughout the many trials she faced in her life. Her family was the most important thing to her and she held this family together, instilling strong values of respect and unity in each of them. In 1966, Esther married Edward Yurick, a widower with four children. When they were first married, there were eight teenagers in the house (and only one bathroom!) Esther loved working in her flower gardens. Summertime would find her outside from dawn ‘til dusk and her flowers were the envy of all the neighbors. Esther was also passionate about her sewing, quilting and embroidery. Over the years, she made a few hundred quilts for family, friends and charities. She sewed many beautiful things for her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren, always adding her special loving touches. And each night Esther still found the time and energy to read for hours, often staying up until the wee hours with her beloved books. Esther is survived by 10 children: Patsy (Carl) Jaeger, Jim (Barbara) Weis, Ted (Maria) Weis, Darlene Weis, Jerry (Emma) Weis, Steve (Ok Cha) Weis, Nancy (Paul) Onofrio, Dan (Dena) Weis, Bill (Michelle) Weis, and Charlene Rose. She is also survived by four stepchildren: Kathy Owens, Eddie Yurick, Marilee (Craig) Bobzien, and Jackie (Bill) Dempsey. Grandma Esther has 34 grandchildren, 58 great-grandchildren, and 10 great-great-grandchildren. Esther was preceded in death by her parents; nine sisters; three brothers; her ex-husband, George; her husband, Edward; her daughter Dixie Blakesley; four grandchildren (Michael, Lisa, Kristi and Wade) and a great-grandchild (Jorden). Family members will be bringing some of the beautiful quilts and blankets that our loving mother and grandmother made for each of us to the service. Afterward, we will wrap ourselves in Grandma's quilts at her interment, her loving embrace warming us as we put her to rest. Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. Friday, Jan. 18, at Michelotti-Sawyers Mortuary. Interment will follow at Sunset Memorial Gardens. Michelotti-Sawyers is assisting with arrangements.
