Although her formal schooling was cut short by WWII, she was a lifelong learner, educating herself on medicine, nutrition, and her favorite book, The Bible. Her escape from East Germany in 1952 gave her an appreciation for liberty and freedom. Elfie was very proud of her adoptive county and becoming a United States citizen. She had an unwavering commitment to organizations that promoted freedom and liberty throughout the world.
Elfie nurtured her family and supported her husband Ned in the growth of the family business, Metalcraft of Mayville.
