Elisa graduated from Lindbergh High School in 1975. She continued her education at St. Louis University, graduating with a B.S. in Physical Therapy. While working she attended Webster University and obtained a M.B.A.
Elisa is survived by her husband of 29 years , Alfred Bick of Lebanon, a daughter Renee Rardin of Columbia, MO, a son Paul Bick of Carlsbad, CA; Aunts and Uncles Newton Riley of Columbia MO, Donald Fowler of Clayton, GA, Jenny Manning of Niangua, and Marsha Bohannon of Derby, KS.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Brother Kenton Eilenstine, paternal grandparents Roy and Naomi Cox Eilenstine, maternal grandparents Lloyd and Paralee Hamilton Manning, Uncle Dale Eilenstine, aunts Joyce Riley, and Janice Fowler.
Elisa worked as a physical therapist at BJC hospital in St. Louis, first in the heart and lung transplant unit, then transitioning to home care. She was a great home care therapist as she had a gift for communicating with and helping people, especially those who were retired.
When she would visit her grandparents or Aunt Mattie Lou in the nursing home, she always left a wake of smiling faces as she greeted everyone she passed by. In addition to working at BJC, Elisa worked for Quinton, a division of Robbins selling durable medical equipment
Elisa took an early retirement to care for her mother in Lebanon, then spent time helping care for her maternal grandparents, and Great Aunt Mattie Lou Hargus.
Elisa enjoyed traveling with her husband, visiting many states throughout the US and one trip to Canada to see Niagara Falls. They traveled mostly in Mexico and the Caribbean, and did visit China, France, and England. During these travels she met and befriended many people from all walks of life. It helped that Elisa was fluent in Spanish, even when she said "I only speak a little Spanish". She called Mexico her happy place; she loved the culture, the people, the variety of scenery, and the little critters. She was known to feed Raccoons, Coatis, Augoutis, and birds, fruit or nuts out of her hand. In the case of raccoons, she shared the spoils from sea food dinners. The smell of the ocean, laughter, good food, and stories shared with friend and family are what she treasured most.
