Elsa Stelter Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Apr. 25 to Apr. 26, 2008.
STELTER (Driesner), Elsa (Elsie) On April 22, 2008 Elsie went home to be with her Lord. Born February 2, 1913 in Vollynia, Russia she was less than a year old when her parents emigrated to Bruderheim. She and her husband Arthur farmed in the Bruderheim area for 32 years then moved to Fort Saskatchewan and lived in Miller Crossing Care Centre for the last three and a half years. She will be missed and lovingly remembered by all who knew her. Her family includes Gilbert (Sally) of Guelph, Ont., Alvin (Joy) of Edmonton, Grace Marquis of Edmonton, Raymond (Bonnie) of Sechelt B.C., Wayne (Alice) of Edmonton, sister Harriet Schultz, sister-in-law Wilma Driesner, ten grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren and many nieces and nephews. Predeceased by her husband in 1992, grandson David, great-grandson Harrison, son-in-law Jacques, daughter-in-law Gayle and three brothers, Ewald, Earl, Herbert and sister, Selma. Bruderheim Moravian Church and the Ladies Aid were important in her life and she was a lifelong member. She loved scrabble, five pin and carpet bowling, winning many local and provincial awards. Every summer her flower garden was the pride of the Fort. Winter was quilting time. Many of her quilts won prizes in the Fort and the Edmonton Exhibition. At 89 she retired from quilting after completing 84 quilts. The family wishes to extend their special thanks to the staff of Miller Crossing Care Centre for the care given to Elsie. In lieu of flowers memorial donations may be made to the charity of one's choice.
