I have only loving memories of my Tanta Elta. She was a role model to me and my sister Darlene. We used to look @ her picture in her Military uniform and wish we were as pretty as she was. She left behind a wonderful legacy in her two children as well as her lovely artwork. Thinking of you today and wishing you the very best.

Elta was my Dad's mother's sister and although I have no memory of her I keep her photgraph as my Grandmothers flower girl very dear to my heart. During my life I've heard stories of Elta's zeal for life. I'm glad to a part of her family and wish we could have all been closer. Long life seems to be a blessing in our family tree with Great Grandpa Schultz living to see 1002 years young ! God bless to everyone, Gloria Rappuhn
