Esther Pauline Drennan

July 27, 1931 — April 12, 2025

Trenton

Esther Pauline Drennan, of Trenton, Ohio, departed this world on April 12, 2025, leaving behind a legacy of love and cherished memories. She is now reunited with her beloved husband, John, in eternal peace.

As a devoted mother, Esther was the heart of her family, nurturing her children daughter, Debra (Wayne) Silvers, Terry (Terrance) Brinker, Jennifer (Gerald) Brinker, , with unwavering affection. Her role as a grandmother was a source of immense joy, as she doted on her nine grandchildren: Aaron Drennan, Jessica Drennan, Jason Brinker, Ben Brinker, Elizabeth Brinker, Samantha Brinker, Emily Schelling, Ryan Silvers, and Timothy Silvers. Each grandchild was a precious treasure, and Esther embraced her role with warmth and pride. Her love extended even further to her nine great-grandchildren—Oliver Kobel, Katie Brinker, Evelyn Schelling, Esther Schelling, Elliot Schelling, Eileen Schelling, Alyssa Drennan, Whitney Drennan, and Trevor Drennan—each of whom held a special place in her heart.

Esther  preceded in death by her loving daughter to Jeannine Drennan.

A passionate gardener, Esther found solace among the flowers, dedicating countless hours to cultivate a vibrant and inviting landscape that delighted the senses. Her gardens not only showcased her green thumb but also provided a sanctuary for many to enjoy. In addition to her love for nature, Esther was an avid reader, immersing herself in the pages of books that transported her on innumerable adventures. Each story was a carefully chosen escape, enriching her life with the wonders of literary journeys.

Esther's greatest adventure was, without a doubt, her family. Being a wife and mother brought her profound happiness, and she treasured every memory with her children and late husband. This love blossomed even more through the generations, as she embraced her role as a grandmother and great-grandmother with an ever-expanding heart. All who were fortunate enough to be part of her life felt her unconditional love and unwavering support.

As we remember Esther, we celebrate the enduring bonds she nurtured and the beautiful moments she shared. Her legacy of love will continue to inspire all her family members, each of whom carries a piece of her warm spirit in their hearts. In the cherished memories she leaves behind, she will forever be remembered as a beacon of love and joy.
