Not long after DeLiegh arrived and prompted another move in Georgia, to Montezuma. Esther worked as a bookkeeper, until they moved once again to Keene, Texas, so DeLiegh could get the education they wanted her to have. Again, Esther worked as a bookkeeper, until she retired, and even then worked part time at an investment firm in Keene. She lost Glenn in 1998.   In 1999, she had a stroke, but managed to fully recover, and was able to still work, occasionally.
