| Today's News-Herald, Lake Havasu City, AZ >>> Published on Friday, February 9, 2018 <<< Estelle “Estee” Rothen, 100, passed away peacefully and gracefully on Monday, Jan. 22, 2018 at the Polidori House with friends at her side. Estee grew up in West Allis, Wisconsin, where she retired in 1983 and then moved to Lake Havasu City. She was a member of Our Lady of the Lake Catholic Church, the VFW Ladies Auxiliary, Fraternal Order of Eagles, and the Drinking and Carousing Group of the Ladies VFW. She had her 100th birthday party with more than 100 guests for her birthday and she dressed to the hilt. She met the Catholic bishop on her 100th birthday. Estee never had an unkind word to say about anyone. She was the oldest resident at Becket House and lived there 30 years – with her little red car which she drove until she was 99 ½ years old with NO power steering. Her son Joe preceded her in death in 2006. She is survived by her only remaining sibling; Anita Morris, and one stepdaughter, Mary Ann Paulus. She also is survived by her grandchildren; Paul Paulus, Peggie Sunseri, Cristie (Donny) Kirkland, and Anne Marie Paulus-Nadeem; seven great-grandchildren, Adam (Johanna) Kinser, Shana Sunseri, Joseph Sunseri, Martina Kirkland, Yesha Nadeem, Abraham Nadeem, and Mohamed Nadeem. The family wishes to thank our dear family friends, Sharon & Mike Bradley, for being longtime friends and caregiver for our grandmother/great-grandmother. She was certainly loved by many and will be missed by all who knew and loved her! Services will be held at 1 p.m., Feb. 10, 2018 at Lietz-Fraze Funeral Home, followed by a reception from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the Beckett House Community Center, 865 Cashmere Drive, Lake Havasu City.
