Born July 30, 1938, in Vienna, Austria, she was the daughter of Adolf and Maria Goldinger Mader.
Affectionately known as Elfi, she worked as a respected beautician throughout her entire life.
Elfi's passion was singing and dancing, and she was a very active member of the Evergreen Chorus of Poughkeepsie, a chapter of Sweet Adelines International, for over fifty years. This part of her life gave her such immense joy.
Survivors include her two daughters, Sandra K. Schreyer of Boynton Beach, FL and Corina M. Schreyer of Poughkeepsie; sister, Hildegard Vanderploeg (Harold) of New Jersey; nieces and nephews, Donn and Tina Vanderploeg, Doris Bläuel, and Karin Lenthe; and cousins, Dagmar Neugebauer and Lötte Hofer.
In addition to her parents, she was predeceased by a brother, Günther Mader.
A period of visitation will take place from 9 to 9:45 AM (prior to funeral Mass), February 13th at Sweet's Funeral Home, Rte. 9, Hyde Park.
A Mass of Christian Burial will follow at 10 AM at Regina Coeli Church, Rte. 9, Hyde Park. Fr. Michael Morris will officiate.
Burial will follow in St. Peter's Cemetery, Poughkeepsie.
