She was married to George Symington and together, they had seven children: George, Alice, Mary Charlotte, Joan, Gloria, William (Bill), and Patricia. The family lived in Astoria, New York and later, Flushing, New York. Estelle died in August, 1958. If anyone has any information on her family, please leave a reply. Thank you.

Estelle Rutan was my grandfather's sister -- His name was Franklyn Benjamin Rutan He married Mary Ryan and had 3 children, Bernadette, Gerard(my father) and Margaret. When I was little, we visited aunt Stella in Flushing along with the Symingtons. My aunts and dad are dead. However, I have an older sister, and younger brother and a cousin, who is Bernadette's son.
