Esther M. Kirchmeir
Esther Mary (Morgan) Kirchmeir, who frequently wintered in Davis, died after a short illness on May 18, 2003, in her Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, home. She was 89.
The daughter of Ralph Walter Kibler Morgan and Elizabeth Jane Dockrell of Stratford-upon-Avon, England, she enjoyed a long career as a teacher in both Austria and Alberta. In Edmonton, she was an active supporter of community and historical associations, and was named a Pioneer of Alberta.
She and her husband Hermann Walter Kirchmeir had three children. Their daughter Roswita Norris lives in Davis with her husband Robert, and the Kirchmeirs often visited them for two to three months at a time -- growing fond of a group of friends here they socialized and spoke German with.
Preceded in death by her brother John Morgan of Stratford-upon-Avon, Esther is also survived by brother Paul Morgan and sister-in-law Rosemary of Oxford, England, son Wolf and daughter-in-law Marie of Blind River, Ontario, and son Peter and daughter-in-law Marjorie of Edmonton.
She is also survived by seven grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren, who affectionately called her "Oma," or grandmother.
A memorial service was scheduled to be held today in Edmonton. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to a charity of choice.
