While living in Arcadia, Elmer and Louise were active members of Zion Lutheran Church. In 1981 they retired from farming and moved to Carroll where they were members of St. Paul Lutheran Church. Louise enjoyed many years as a volunteer at New Hope Village and St. Anthony Hospital Auxiliary. She enjoyed flower gardening, traveling, dancing, and spending time with her family and many good friends.
