She was born to Harvey and Martha Harbaugh Hoffman on November 22, 1914 in the Orange Township area of Waterloo. Her childhood and youth were spent in Orange Township and Buckingham/Geneseo area. She graduated from Orange Township High School in 1933. At the age of 12, she was baptized at South Waterloo Church of the Brethren. As an adult, she was an active member helping with Women's Sewing, Cradle Row, and teaching 5-year-olds' Sunday School class. On June 28, 1935 she was united in marriage to David Ainley at her parents' farm on Hammond Ave. in Waterloo. The house still stands. They had been married 70 years before David passed away on February 16, 2005. They were blessed with two sons. She was a devoted wife, mother, and homemaker. Esther was an avid bowler, loved making crafts and ceramics, needlework and sewing, playing her electric organ and watching high school and college basketball – particularly the Hawkeyes. When visiting Larry she loved to watch the birds and would call them using her electronic "Tweeter." She loved swimming at the YWCA along with taking their bus trips. She especially loved fishing with her family at Ball Club Lake in Minnesota, near Itasca, and kept a lifelong family journal. Those left to cherish precious memories are her sons Larry Ainley and Colleen of Waterloo, Ron Ainley and Jane of Dubuque, grandchildren Denise Gabbert and Darren of Barnett, Missouri and Brian Ainley of Goose Lake, Iowa. Also, great-grandchildren: Ashley Newswanger and Eugene of Barnett, Missouri; Chris Lanpher and Crystal of Millersburg, Indiana, and Josiah Gabbert of Barnett; great-great grandchildren Logan Newswanger of Barnett; and Stephanie Brook Lanpher of Millersburg, Indiana.
