Esther was born in Dore, ND, to parents John Messmer and Anne Messmer (Ginther) on April 14, 1933.

June 1, 2022 at 2:29 pmI remember when we moved to Spokane WA. And we met our cousin Esther and her three daughters Gail, Jenny, and of course Nicki. We fought over the piano several times. My father Bill Neumann also passed away in 2000. My mother Lorraine died in 1994.
