Mitzi was part-owner in Elek's Farm Market and Bakery. She was best known for her Hungarian nut and poppy seed rolls. She was an avid gardener and loved to cook and was an amazing baker. She loved to can a variety of jams and vegetables with her family by her side.
A special thank you goes out to her granddaughter, Morgan Elek. She was like a daughter to her and Morgan cared for her with the love and support that was cherished throughout the entire time they spent together and as Jack always said they were "two peas in a pod."
