She started to school at Nodaway Consolidated School in the new brick building in Nodaway. Her last two years of high school were spent in Villisca where she graduated with the VHS class of 1934. She married Arvin Hedstrom and they were the parents of three children. Esther lived the life of a farm wife for the first 14 years of the marriage, picking corn by hand, milking 20 cows by hand, raising and dressing chickens, planting a large garden, canning, all of the work typical of the times. She then began teaching country school at Vandevender School in Page County, went on to Grant, Essex and Treynor schools and ended her teaching career spending 12 years as a reading specialist at Lewis Central Middle School in Council Bluffs. Esther loved learning; she began her teaching career with only a high school normal training certificate and ended with a Master's Degree. She encouraged her grandchildren to go on to higher education. After retirement, she enjoyed having more time to spend with family, traveling with friends, swimming class, reading, craftwork, online shopping, collecting bears and church work. After moving to the Good Samaritan Center last year, she returned to her teaching background and created a job for herself as "Hall Monitor" keeping track of all the coming and going of the residents and visitors. She maintained her good mind and her spirit and was still "giving orders" up to her last breaths. Her parents, her husband, her brothers, Andrew and Dr. Fredrick Howard; sister, Elizabeth Swanson and daughter Mary Lou Albertson preceded her in death. She is survived by her daughter Susie Enarson and husband Tom; son Harold Hedstrom and wife Sandy, all of Villisca, and son-in-law Jim Albertson of Carroll; 8 grandchildren and spouses, 12 great-grandchildren and 3 great-great grandchildren also survive her.
