The Estherwood Society recognizes alumnae/i, families, and friends whose thoughtful philanthropic planning includes a future gift to The Masters School.
Planned gifts provide vital support to the entire Masters community: students, faculty, and mission-aligned programs. If you have included Masters in your estate plans, or have questions or interest in doing so, we invite you to connect with us.
When people ask Estherwood Society member Gillian Crane ’92 where she grew up, she proudly says “The Masters School.” As a former student, faculty member and administrator, Gillian spent many years at Masters — four years as a student and 14 as a faculty member — making memories and lifetime friends. “Because of the friendships that I made and the experiences that I had there, Masters feels like home,” Gillian said.
Libbie Payne is a member of the Class of 1969 whom we lost far too soon. A dedicated alumna and volunteer, Libbie Payne '69 cemented her legacy by arranging a bequest to her alma mater. In recognition of Libbie's significant gift, we are honored to acknowledge her — along with her mother, Sarah Biggs Payne '36, and her aunt Hermione Biggs, head of the Music Department 1892–1936 — with a specially named space in the newly renovated Follett Hall.
