Chestine started life in Amarillo, TX, where she met John Charles Vester (Willie), the love of her life. They married young and had a long 64-year marriage full of family, friends, and traveling the world.

She was a dedicated full-time mother who loved vacations up in the cool mountains, camping, playing bridge, and enjoying meals with friends and family.

After her children were grown, she started her Real Estate career in 1980 and retired in 2016 as a Relocation Specialist. She adored her work and the faithful friendships she gained.
