Elvira Reiner Obituary
Born in Wasserliesch, Germany, Elvira immigrated to the States in 1960, residing in Metuchen for over 60 years.
She worked as a hairdresser before starting her own hair salon in the 1970s.
After her sister Ruth Willems passing in 2020 and her undergoing surgery in 2022, she could no longer be alone, so her nephew brought her back to Germany. She lived in the house where she was born in for three and a half years. Her niece, Claudia Steffen, her husband Ralf Steffen and their daughter Michelle Steffen, and her nephew Jörg Schuler, are very sad about her loss.
We are happy to have had many beautiful moments with her.
