                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, February 4, 2019

  Mr. ENGEL. Madam Speaker, it is with a heavy heart that I today honor 
the life of one of my constituents, the beloved Esther Salvatore. A 
lifelong resident of Eastchester, Esther passed away peacefully with 
family members by her side on January 19, 2019. She will be deeply 
missed by all who knew and loved her.
  Esther's life was devoted to her faith, to raising her children, to 
loving her many nieces, nephew and cousins, adoring her 6 grandchildren 
and 7 great-grandchildren, to playing the violin and cherishing her 
Italian heritage.
  The daughter of Antonetta and Crescenzo DiPippo, who came to the 
United States from Italy, Esther was born on August 13, 1926 in 
Bronxville and lived in Eastchester her entire life. She grew up with 
her siblings, Christopher and Gloria, and her many close cousins. 
Esther attended Waverly Elementary School and graduated from 
Eastchester High School in 1944. After completing school, she attended 
New York University to study music.
  On September 19, 1948, Esther married Daniel Salvatore of Tuckahoe. 
She shared 32 years of marriage with her loving husband, and together 
they raised 3 daughters in Eastchester. A devout Catholic, Esther 
attended mass regularly at Assumption of Our Lady in Tuckahoe, a place 
of worship that her father and grandfather helped to build. She was an 
active parishioner and was a proud member of the Rosary Altar Society, 
Sodality, the Eastchester/Tuckahoe Senior Center and the Yonkers 
Philharmonic as a violinist.
  Madam Speaker, Esther Salvatore lived a beautiful, rich, and 
fulfilling life. She enjoyed her family immensely and instilled her 
faith, a love of music, a strong work ethic and the bond of family 
across many generations. The example she set will live on through them 
and the love they shared.
  I offer my sincerest condolences to Esther's family and to the entire 
Eastchester community.
