Read More	Esther Irene Brandt, 85, of 1624 N. Sidney Ave., Sterling, passed away Saturday, Jan. 26, 2002, at Sterling Regional MedCenter. Visitation will be from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 29, at Chancy Reager Funeral Home. Funer al services will be at 2 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 30, at the First Foursquare Church with Revs. Roger McGlaughlin and William Brandt Jr. officiating. Burial will follow at Sunset Memorial Gardens. Esther was born March 14, 1916, to Edward Grant and Jane Elizabeth (Frickey) Ellis in Athol, Kan. She spent her early childhood years in Kansas and then her family came to Sterling where she attended school. In 1933, she married Henry Carl Brandt. They made their home in Sterling, where they raised their five children. Esther was a homemaker, while Henry did trucking and custom farm work. Esther and Henry's home was open to many family members who stayed with them off and on. Esther cared for her ailing father until his death in 1946. During the 1960s and 1970s, Esther and Henry became "mom and dad" to approximately 50 foster children. After Henry's death in 1979, Esther continued giving to the community by becoming involved with Cooperating Ministries of Sterling. She was a volunteer from 1981 to 1998, when growing health concerns caused her to retire. During her years working at Cooperating Ministries, she was nominated as a Colorado Volunteer of the Year for Northeast Colorado. She won that award in 1984, and was honored by then Colorado governor Dick Lamm at a banquet in Denver. In the words of Sterlingite Dave Hamil, former federal administrator of the REA and state legislator, "Esther epito mizes the goodness of so many people of her generation who grew up in hard times, learned how to survive, and now wish to return, in some small way, the blessings of their lives to others less fortunate." Esther was a life-long mem ber of the First Foursquare Church, where she was involved with the many activities in vari ous programs of the church. A highlight of Esther's life were her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. • Mrs. Brandt is survived by two sons, William Carl Brandt and wife Ruth of Loveland, and Edward James Brandt and wife Jodi of Sterling; two daughters. Edna Irene Harrach of Douglas, Ariz.; and Shirley Marie Mertens and husband. Tom of Sterling; 11 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband, Henry; one son, Charles Henry; one son- in-law, Russell Harrach; and two grandchildren. Memorial contributions may be made to the First Foursquare Church of Sterling, Birthright of Sterling, or The American Heart Association.
