Estel enjoyed working with her hands, whether it was sewing, quilting, cooking, or working in the garden. Word puzzles and jigsaw puzzles were among her favorite pastimes. She also took great pleasure in feeding and watching all the hummingbirds who took advantage of her generosity. Above all, her greatest joy was her family, who she loved dearly. She was a member of Reyno First Baptist Church.

On April 2, 1953, she was united in marriage to Clarence “Sonny” Guthrey. He precedes her. She is survived by her sons, Dick (Janna) Guthrey of Pocahontas, AR, and Carl (Kathy) Guthrey of Little Rock, AR; grandsons, Michael (Hannah) Guthrey of Brookland, AR, and Dr. Caleb (Jordan) Guthrey of Little Rock, AR; granddaughter, Michelle Guthrey Tracy; and four great-grandchildren. She is also survived by two special nieces, Theresa Hurst and Cheryl Parker.

The family would like to express their appreciation and gratitude to the nurses and staff of Woodland Heights Senior Living in Little Rock and all the hospice nurses who provided care, comfort, and dignity.
