Pedersen, Elva (7 March 1916 – 11 May 2012)

 

Elva Pedersen, age 96, of Thorp, entered eternal life on Friday, May 11, 2012, at the Clark County Health Care Center in Owen. Graveside services will be held at a later date at Riverside Cemetery in Withee.

 

Elva Pedersen was born on March 7, 1916, in Withee, WI, the daughter of Soren and Hilda (Petersen) Pedersen. She was raised in the Withee area, graduated from Withee high School and then attended Teacher’s College in La Crosse. Elva returned to Thorp and worked at Thorp Finance as the personal secretary for Francis Conway for 60 years.

 

She loved animals, especially her dogs, and enjoyed going out to eat.

 

Elva is survived by three cousins: Harvey (Velda) Anderson of Withee, Raymond (Pat) Andress of Chippewa Falls, and Pearl (Eugene) Shafer of Eau Claire.

 

She entered the Lord’s house to join her parents; her brother, Carl; and her sister, Caroline Brossow.  Elva will be missed by many.
