Esther was born in Molalla, Oregon, in 1939, to Julius and Elsie Schultz. She married Glen Schrock in 1963. Esther was a registered nurse, and was passionate about nutrition and helping people live better lives with her Shaklee business that she enjoyed for over 38 years. She was active in many areas of service to her church and missions her whole life. She loved cooking, having people over for fellowship and meals, gardening, sewing, and spending time with her family and friends. Her children and grandchildren were her pride and joy, and she was an avid prayer warrior for them and everyone she loved.

Esther is survived by her best friend and husband for almost 50 years, Glen; a daughter Christy (Dr. Kevin Eichelberger); a son Casey Schrock (Jessica); seven grandchildren: Corey Eichelberger of Cedar Falls, IA, Katie and Caleb Eichelberger of Altoona, IA, and Izzy, C.J., Ben and Shelby Schrock of Altoona, IA; four sisters; and many sisters-in-law, brothers-in-law, nieces, and nephews. She was preceded in death by a son, Corey Alan, a brother, Reuben Schultz, and her parents.

Memorials may be given to the family for various missions organizations.
