Estelle was a graduate of Jeremiah E. Burke High School in Dorchester. She was a former employee of New England Calculating and Simply Whispers. Nothing gave her more pleasure than spending time with her loved ones. A loving and giving woman, she took extreme pleasure in traditions and hosting family holidays. By her humble example she taught her children the importance of a close family. She instantly created warm relationships with anyone she came in contact with. She was greatly loved and will be dearly missed by many.
