Esther Rose Boehm Herdman, daughter of Remi and Mayme Boehm, born June 21, 1918 at Lenexa, Kansas passed away April 20, 2016 at North Point Skilled Nursing Home, Paola, Kansas. She had resided at North Point since February of 2014 when she moved there from the Stockton, Missouri Nursing Home.

She was the fourth of seven children. Esther was six years old when the family moved to Paola, Kansas where she attended grade school and high school. She then went to Kansas City, Missouri and worked for H.D. Lee’s as a machine operator in the garment industry.

In March of 1962, she married Willard Herdman, her loving husband of 44 years.

Esther retired from the garment industry in 1971. In 1976, after Willard retired, they moved to Stockton, Missouri.

Esther accepted Christ as her Lord and Savior at an early age. She was a member of the Stockton Christian Church and a 30 year member of the Order of the Eastern Star.

Esther loved people and liked to keep busy and help people. She was active as a volunteer; six years at the Stockton Nursing Home and 14 years at the Stockton Senior Center delivering meals on wheels to shut-ins.

She was preceded in death by her husband, parents, four sisters, and one brother.

She is survived by one brother Charles Boehm of Paola and many nieces and nephews.
