Elva worked for seed houses in St. Anthony, for Mountain Bell, and for Roger Brothers where she was a floor lady. She was well respected and fair to everyone. She would never ask anyone to do a job that she was not willing to do herself.
Elva and Gib were very patriotic members of the V.F.W.
She was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served in various positions.
She loved yard work and being in the outdoors. She loved animals, especially cats which she had many. She raised them like her own family.
Elva was a very quiet person and has requested that there be no viewing or funeral, just a graveside service.
