She was born Mary Margaret Conter to Nicholas Anthony Conter and Lottie Esther Milligan and was the eldest of four children. After several moves her family settled in Colorado in 1929. She was educated at Holy Family School in Denver, graduating in 1937. She attended Loretto Heights College, met the Sisters of Loretto, and joined their order in 1940 as Sister Mary Esther (she later reverted to her birth name). She made her final vows in 1946.
She earned her Bachelor's Degree at Loretto Heights and began her career teaching elementary students in Kentucky, Missouri, California, Arizona, Alabama, Illinois, and in Pueblo, Colorado which was her home for many years.
She was deeply involved in religious education in the parishes, which expanded in new directions as she ministered to the needs of patients at the Colorado State Hospital. Her work in the field of aging and hospice care earned her awards, recognition, and chaplaincies in two hospice systems in Pueblo.
She retired in 2002 and moved to the Loretto Center in Denver, and then to the Motherhouse Infirmary in Kentucky in 2007.
She died in her 70th year as a Sister of Loretto.
