Elsie was united in marriage to Ervin Reinke on May 23, 1942. During their 63 years of marriage they enjoyed dancing and often enjoyed spending time playing cards with family, until Ervin's passing on July 23, 2005. Elsie was a gentle loving soul who was known to always take care of others, especially through her passion of cooking and baking. She enjoyed spending time with her family, neighbors and friends. But her greatest pleasure was spending time with her children and grandchildren. Anyone who knew Elsie and her soft spoken way loved her. She enjoyed talking with anyone that came along her way. She was a beautiful soul and is dearly loved and deeply missed by family and friends.

She is further survived by four siblings: June Kemp, Harvey Tank, Shirley Weyland, and Leland Tank.
