Esther Darlee Domitrovich, age 91, passed away on September 14, 2025. She was living in Denver, Colorado at the time of her passing and was formerly a resident of Colorado Springs, Colorado for over 40 years.
Esther was not only a wonderful loving wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, but also the kindest and most caring nurse that a person could have to take care of them. The elderly residents that she cared for meant the world to her.
Esther (referred to by her siblings as “Darlee”) was born on May 29, 1934, to Albert J. Hein and Annie (Mader) Hein in Grainfield, Kansas. She was one of 13 children. On June 16, 1971, she married Francis J. Domitrovich in Denver, Colorado.
Esther was fond of sewing and singing. She also enjoyed being a very active member of her parish community of Divine Redeemer Catholic Church. She was also a dedicated room mother for her two girls while they were in school for many years.
She is survived by her two daughters: Angela Domitrovich (husband, Greg Spitzer) and Candace Domitrovich (husband, David Hernandez); her five grandchildren: Alexandra Domitrovich, Genevieve Brewer, Zxavyor Hernandez, Michael Spitzer and Matthew Spitzer; and her five great-grandchildren: Anya Love, Charles Love, Violet Love, Lunalynn Gosha and Daxton Pittman. Esther was preceded in death by her husband, her parents, two brothers and three sisters.
