Esther Mae, leaving behind her pain, went to meet her Lord and all those loved ones who'd gone before her on December 3, 1992. Esther's life touched and enriched everyone she meet. She was born in Winder, Georgia, December 24, 1914. A daughter of a Baptist minister, she met her husband, Lloyd Gentry, as he sang at a revival. They had one daughter, Patricia Ann Lawson. Music was a special part of all their lives. Esther was creative in many areas. She was the Cafeteria Manager and Director of Catering for OPUBCO for over 20 years. She loved entertaining and had a flair for cooking. She is preceded in death by her husband, Lloyd, her brothers, J. V. and Lester. She is survived by her sister, Elizabeth White of Atlanta, Georgia; 2 grandsons, Jeffrey Lawson and Lloyd Lawson; and a 5 day old great-granddaughter, Denisa Ann Lawson. Esther will be greatly missed by her family and friends, but will be remembered for her generousity and kindness to everyone. A life remembered lives forever.
