Esther E. Stewart

Esther Elizabeth Stewart, cherished infant daughter of Bill and Emily (Boland) Stewart of La Crosse, died at birth on Wednesday, October 30, 2019.

Esther was a beautiful blessing that we hoped and prayed for.  Born at 40 weeks, she weighed 7lbs 7 oz and was 21.5 inches long.  She had tufts of dark hair and the sweetest button nose.  Although Esther never spent any time with us on this earth, she was very loved and changed our lives forever.  Her big sisters sang to her and hugged her tight every day, making sure she knew how much we all loved her. Esther means star, and our sweet, little twinkling star will never be forgotten.  We love you little girl.

Esther is lovingly survived by her parents; her sisters, Everly and Sloane; her maternal grandparents, Ruth and Jerry Boland of Rochester, Minn.; her paternal grandparents, Denise and Donald Murphy of Janesville, Wis., and Charles and Ella Stewart of Ft. Worth, Texas; maternal great grandmother, Elizabeth Scheckel of Soldiers Grove, Wis.; paternal great grandmother, Beverly Biely of Janesville, Wis.; her aunts and uncles, Mariah (Ben) Harris; Greg (Rebecca) Stewart; Amy (Brett) Jacobson and Shane Murphy; and numerous great aunts, uncles and cousins.

A memorial service for Esther will be held at 4:30 p.m., Thursday, November 7 ^th , at Schumacher-Kish Funeral and Cremation Services, 200 West Ave. So., La Crosse. Deacon Frank Abnet will officiate. Family and friends may call at the funeral home on Thursday from 3:00 p.m. until the time of service.
