Esther grew up in Anderson, and after she graduated from Highland High School in 1959 went on to Ball State University to major in art. On April 28, 1985, she married her love, Donald Mosier.

She spent most of her adult life in Indianapolis with her family, raising her children. Esther was a devoted wife and homemaker for the family.
