  Esther Ann Clegg, 89, Hortonville, died unexpectedly on Saturday, Jan. 22, 2011, at her home.

Esther was a loving Mother and Grandmother who enjoyed life to the fullest. She took a lot of pride in her 1972 Monte Carlo, mowing her huge yard, planting flowers, cooking the best homemade meals and baking her famous peanut squares and pies. She enjoyed playing cards, going for rides, especially out to eat at Romy's, and a good polka, teaching many of us how to dance around her kitchen table. She was an active member of Sts. Peter and Paul's Christian Mothers since 1945 and prayed her Rosary daily. She never missed a Friday night fish fry at church since they started.
