After graduating from Anna Maria College, Estelle earned her Master's Degree in Education from Rhode Island College and dedicated her life to teaching for over 30 years in the North Smithfield School System, spending a majority of her career as a second-grade teacher where she was beloved by students and colleagues alike. She retired from North Smithfield Elementary School in 2004. Estelle was an extremely talented artist with a love for lighthouses, jigsaw puzzles, coloring and reading. As a young girl, she enjoyed doing ballet and tap, playing basketball, cooking for her dad, and found such joy watching baseball with her dad.

In addition to being a woman of God, she was a devoted and loving mother, who always enjoyed spending time with her children, including every school vacation, a doting grandmother and great-grandmother. She had a huge heart, warm and sweet personality, and was adored by so many, especially her family and friends. Now that she has passed through the gates of Heaven and gained her angel wings, she will be forever missed and always cherished in the hearts of many.
