Esther A. Hood of Lethbridge, AB., beloved wife of the late Robin S. Hood, passed away on October 12th, 2021, at the age of 95 years.

Esther was born on the 26th of September 1926 to Rose and Andy Brown in Bassano, AB. She was raised in Hussar and graduated from the University of Alberta with a Bachelor of Education. She married Robin, the love of her life, and together, they raised their family in Calgary, Ottawa, and Winnipeg. She enjoyed her last years amongst family in Lethbridge, but always remained a true blue Calgarian and a diehard Stampeder fan! Esther was a devoted Legion member and was awarded her lifetime membership in recognition for her dedication and commitment. Esther lived life to the fullest, was always the life of the party and made lasting friendships wherever she was.

Esther is survived by her children Robin (Sharon) Hood, Peggy(Gerry) Kadey, Greg (Rosemarie Painter) Hood, Patricia (Brian) White, and Cameron (Rose Mueller) Hood, her grandchildren Shawna (Kip) Hood-Martin, Cameron (Andrea) Hood, Scott (Lindsay) Hood, Brett (Meghann) Hood, Kaley (Brant) Craddock, Kalen Hood, Kidist Teferi, Hilina Betru, Tony (Stephanie) White, Nick (Amanda) White, and Ashley (Sebastian) White; her great-grandchildren: Braden, Katie, Mallory, Rylie, Cole, Eric, Brody, and Sadie as well as numerous nieces, nephews, and their families.

Besides her loving husband, Esther was predeceased by her parents Andy & Rose, her brothers & sisters Hugh, Ruth, Jess, Don, Tom, Doug, Peg, Lila, Gord, and Cameron and her daughter-in-law Bonnie.

The family would like to thank all the staff at Age Care Columbia, as well as unit 4A at Chinook Regional Hospital for the care and compassion given to Esther.

Esther lived a beautiful life, filled with love and laughter and will be missed dearly by all who knew her.

A Celebration of Esther’s Life will be held at a later date.
