Estella was the cherished daughter of Bernadette Boynnoh James and the late Jenkins Befoh Browne. Her bond with her family was unbreakable, and she carried the legacy of her father with grace and strength. Estella was a devoted wife to David Koroma, whom she married in Brooklyn, New York, in 2007. Together, they shared 19 years of love and companionship, building a life filled with joy and laughter. Their union was blessed with a beautiful daughter, Princess Koroma, who was the light of Estella's life. Estella's commitment to her family extended beyond her immediate circle. She was a loving sister to Claudia, Marvel Nancy Dixon, Josephine, Princess, Jestina, Monica, Jessica, Tarloh Kollie, and Linda, and Brother Edmond Browne, a devoted aunt to Delma, Welma, Justine, Ehi, Joshua, Maurice, Linda, Angela, Kenori, Muna, and Kofa. Her nurturing spirit touched many, including her extended family members, Abioseh, Sister Faith, Anthony, Wleh, and others. Estella was also adored by her aunties,and uncles including Gloria Winterspoon and Sento Johnson. Her educational journey began at Buxton Primary School and Roservelt Memorial Secondary School for Girls in Freetown. After moving to the United States, she continued her studies at Prospect High School in Brooklyn, NY, and later at Empire Beauty School. Estella's passion for helping others led her to complete her Home Health Aide training, where she found fulfillment in serving those in need. Estella's career began with her talent in hair braiding, and she later dedicated herself to caring for others as a Home Health Aide. Her work was a testament to her kind heart and dedication to making a difference in the lives of others. In her leisure time, Estella found joy in cooking and caring for her loved ones. She took pleasure in the simple things, like taking walks, enjoying time by the pool, and listening to gospel music. She was known for her quiet yet fierce spirit, her warm smile adorned with beautiful dimples, and her ability to light up a room with her laughter. A service to honor Estella's life will be held on October 31, 2026, at 8:30 AM at Guarino Funeral Home, located at 9222 Flatlands Avenue, Brooklyn, New York 11236.
