Elton Scherbert Obituary
December 23, 1938 - February 4, 2025
Elton Scherbert, age 86 of Endeavor, passed away peacefully in his home on February 4, 2025.
Elton was born on December 23, 1938, in Endeavor, Wis. He was the son of the late Norma Lloyd and Elton Budde Scherbert. He graduated from Portage High School in 1956.
He married Shirley Stout on June 27, 1959, in Readstown, Wis. He proudly served his country as an active-duty member of the United States Army from 1959-1962 followed by the Reserves. He had a variety of careers between working construction in Milwaukee with his uncle to truckin' down the highway, farming, and welding. He was an avid sports enthusiast playing softball, volleyball, and bowling. He also enjoyed gardening, fishing, hunting, snowmobiling, and mowing. However, when the weather was nice, he'd be found at the golf course perfecting his game.
He is survived by his wife, Shirley; children, John, James, and Brenda (Todd Burger); four grandchildren, John (Erin) Scherbert, Jamie (Jason) Zacharias, Rhea (Brandon Jones) Scherbert, and Alexandra Scherbert; five great grandchildren, Briggs, Cole, Drew, Novalee, and Bentley, and many other friends and relatives.
He is preceded in death by his parents, Norma and Elton Scherbert; sisters, Betty Sekely, Nancy Theisen; daughter in law, Jill Scherbert, and grand nephew, Jacob Zimmerman.
