Rockwall_EstelleEstelle married the love of her life, J.D., in July of 1947. Together they spent 66 glorious years in holy matrimony.

J.D. was not only her lifelong companion, but also her very best friend.

In December of 1956, they adopted their daughter Beverly, only 3 short days after she was born.

Estelle has a love that burns so bright for her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. She taught Sunday school for children and enjoyed vacation bible school with J.D. by her side.

Estelle has 3 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren!

She is known for her famous Sunday lunches that she would prepare for her family and also for her famous banana pudding that she prepared each Fourth of July. Her family says that it is the best in the world!

Estelle is also a master seamstress. She made both her own clothes as well as Beverly’s when was growing up. She even made Beverly’s prom dress, which still hangs in her closet to this day!
