Alice Mae Esterbrook, 88

January 14, 2025

Alice Mae Esterbrook, 88, of Akron, PA, passed away on January 14, 2025 after a long-suffering battle with Alzheimer’s disease. She was born in Butler Township, PA to the late Alfred and Ethel Williams. Alice is survived by her husband of nearly 73 years, Charles Eugene Esterbrook and her three children Debra L. Franks-Boettcher, Karl A. Esterbrook and Mark B. Esterbrook. Her daughter, Lisa A. Esterbrook, preceded her death in 1959. Alice is also survived by seven grandchildren (Schon, Jennifer, Kyle, Lauren, Megan, Evan, and Samantha) and three great grandchildren (Brendan, Anisa, and Ella).

In addition to being a loving wife and mother, Alice also worked as a homemaker and CNA at Brethren Village before she retired. She enjoyed cooking, cross stitch, dancing, reading, but most of all spending time with her family. Alice faced many challenges throughout her life, but always managed to put the needs of other’s first, exemplifying the belief that our circumstances in life do not need to define us. Visiting family and friends were always greeted by a big smile, hugs, and delicious food.

Alice will be interred at the Indiantown Gap National Cemetery at a future date as determined by the family. In lieu of flowers or cards, please consider a contribution to the Alzheimer’s Association at www.alz.org/.
