Esther Jane See Hinds, 93
Esther Jane See Hinds was born August 4, 1914 near Globe, Arizona and passed away at Grangeville Health and Rehab Center May 14, 2008 at the age of 93.
Jane is survived by sons Charles (Lynda) and Edward (Linda); grandchildren Lori Hinds, Eraka Blewett, Marsha Moehrle, Tim Hinds and Michelle Modglin.
Jane was married to George Hinds for 52 years before he passed in 1996.
She began her teaching career in backwoods one room schools in California and finished as a special education teacher in Grangeville. She was a pioneer in the field of special needs and developed programs which were copied from schools around the country. An injury cut short her teaching career.
Living in a wheelchair never seemed to slow Jane down. She lived by herself after George passed until she was 91. At age 89, she went alone to Phoenix to see a cousin and seemed to have no trouble. Wherever she went she talked to people and always found someone who had a common bond.
The family will hold a short memorial service when they scatter her ashes along side George’s at Black Lake, the time to be determined later.
Cremation was under the direction of the Blackmer Funeral Home in Grangeville.
