She worked for many years in the upper level of Fidelity and later in the investment department. She has been a member of Fulton Presbyterian Church since 1924.

Elsie is survived by nieces and nephews, Betty (Marvin) Arians of Sterling, IL, Susan (Ian) Duncanson of Colorado, Lonny (Lori) Boerema of Clinton, IA and Ted (Gail) Boerema of WI; also a sister-in-law, Marian Boerema of Clinton and many great nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by "the boys", her brothers Duke, Ike and Herman Boerema, and one nephew, Jack Boerema. She is sweet and carefree and beautiful, with a bright attitude, always in bloom, never a frown. Oh Elsie, how we will miss you.
