According to officials last night's frigid temperatures are to blame for the death an elderly woman in Bernville.
They were as close as two sisters could be until a fierce winter wind changed everything.
Reporter: Arleen Schwartz is still trying to process the fact that her loving sister died trying to get to her house. The coroner says 89-year-old Esther May Luckenbill slipped on a patch of ice Tuesday night and then died from from exposure to the freezing cold. Arleen says her sister was always very active.
Arleen: Oh, yeah, she was always active. She was always doing things.
Stand up: Now Arleen says she used to speak to her sister everyday single day and when she didn't hear from her she knew something was strong.
Arleen: When i came home from the store, and i didn't get no answer, and then i went and i kept calling and calling and didn't get an answer.
Reporter: It turns out Esther couldn't get into her house, so she decided to head to Arleen's place ... Just a few doors down ... Penn Valley Road ... And that's when when she slipped on that nasty patch of ice. When family didn't hear from Esther, they came running ... But it was too late. Moving forward, Arleen prefers to rember the good times.
Reporter: Esther would have turned 90 years old on Valentine's Day. Arleen says it won't be the same without her best friend ... But no amount of cold will ever be able to steal the lifetime of great memories.
Arleen: Oh yes, she was really nice.Yup she was, yup, she was.She was really nice.
