Esther Watson Powell was born on December 11, 1961, in Nashville, Tennessee to Mr. Eric Dean Watson and Mona Karolyn Bryd.
Esther received a Bachelor of Nursing Degree in 1998 from Clayton State College. She practiced nursing at Memorial Health University for over 29 years and obtained her CCRN for critical care work while being employed there. Prior to working at Memorial Health University, she worked at Medical Staffing Network in Springfield, Virginia as a travel nurse.
Esther was a fun loving very caring person and everyone who knew her loved her. She fed the squirrels and many types of birds: doves, blue jays, red birds, and others.
A Peregrine Falcon and Cooper’s Hawk came to her bird bath on numerous occasions. She was a vegetarian and did not want people to eat meat as she was a true animal lover.
Esther was preceded in death by her parents Eric Dean Watson and Mona Karolyn Byrd.
She leaves her memories to be cherished by her husband Myron Avoriett and brothers John Watson and Dean Watson.
Esther will be missed by all who know her.
The memorial service will be held at Families First Care Chapel on Friday, January 19, 2024, at 10:00 AM.
