Elsie enjoyed cooking and family gatherings. She was a very good seamstress. She could often be seen tending her meticulous vegetable and flower gardens. She was always ready for a good time, and a good party. She is probably organizing one right now! She enjoyed traveling, especially to Germany to visit her relatives. She was a member of First United Methodist Church. Much of her time was devoted to the Toledo Turners. She took part in its gymnastics program from childhood through adulthood. She loved the social events especially the dancing, and performed the German folk-dance the Schuplattler. In later years she enjoyed and helped with the German American Festival in Oregon. A special thank you to Lisa Nirode, Hazel Deuble, John and Annette Zientek. A memorial service will be held at a later date. Arrangements were entrusted to Witzler-Shank Funeral Home, 222 East South Boundary St., Perrysburg, OH., 43551 (419-874-3133) Condolences may be left to the family at www.witzlershank.com
