Elisabeth Gack
AGE: 95 • Manchester
Elisabeth Rieder Gack passed away on August 19, 2017. Elisabeth was born in Wallburg, Germany, the only child of Alfred and Rosa (Amman) Rieder. Her mother passed away when she was two years old. Her father married his second wife Anna Pfaff. They had four children, Fred, Trudl and Annaleise, all previously deceased and Walter who still resides in Wallburg, Germany. Her step sister Annaleise had three children, Ilman, Erhard and Ingrid. Ingrid married Konrad Marko and they had two daughters Silka and Anja and her son Yannik.
Elisabeth married Erhard Gack on April 19, 1947. While they did not have any children, they celebrated 53 years of a blissful marriage together before his passing on March 11, 2000. They arrived in the United States in 1954 and lived in Hartsdale, NY, until their move to Leisure Village West in 1974 to be near his brother and sister in law, Konrad and Barbara Gack (both deceased) who also lived in Leisure Village West.
Elisabeth and Erhard toured the United States frequently, took many trips through all parts of Europe and visited friends and family in both Wallburg and Marktgraitz, Germany.
Two years after Erhard's passing Elisabeth met Gene Ritchings. They became devoted friends, companions and inseparable over the past fifteen years.
Elisabeth is survived by her loving and caring family and nephew Conrad and his wife Normandy, their children Suzanne Elizabeth, Christopher Conrad and grandson Brayden Gack.

Warm sympathy
I was horrified to learn of the death of my godmother Elisabeth at the end of September. By chance, my children have now come across this website. I would like to express my sympathy and sympathy here.
Aunt Lisbeth was always a good godmother who accepted me from an early age and respected me and always stood by me. Even when she went to America with Erhardt, we kept in touch and when you visited your home, a visit to Grafenhausen was always scheduled.
When reunion, the joy was very big. It was always a cordial and informal way of dealing with each other. There was a sense of connectedness, as if there were neither time nor mileage differences that existed between visits. Even after her last visit to Germany, we kept in touch by phone until I could no longer reach her and learned of her death.
We will always keep Aunt Lisbeth, as well as Erhardt, in good memory.
Warm sympathy and best regards
Roland Ramstein, my wife Hedwig,
as well as my children Daniel, Martina and Eveline with families
