Elise had a passion for her community and her family and took extra care to ensure she catered many events, dinners and meals for more people then we could ever begin to list. She catered weddings, board meetings, business events, graduations, parties, birth and retirement events and many more. She loved to cook, bake, sew, decorate, garden, can food, farm as well as driving the tractor, feeding the guys in the fields and taking long rides and trips. Many of these trips were often spent with family and friends antiquing, junking and sharing in good food “making memories”. She shared her love and compassion with children and some would often say that she spoiled them in love. She made a huge impact in many lives that will be carried on for years to come.

She was a Sunday School teacher and served on the Women Serving Christ for many years.
