Esther was born on February 22, 1913 in Batabano, Cuba, to Micaela Molin and Juan Negrin. She studied journalism and subsequently worked as a reporter in Havana.

Esther immigrated from Cuba to New York in 1965 to be with her daughter, grandchildren and extended family.

Esther was a devoted and loving wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. Esther was a caring, compassionate woman who was deeply committed to her faith and family.
