Elna Louvina was born of Willie and Nettie Wisian on Christmas day 1918 on a farm outside Niederwald Texas during a flood. The doctor swam the swollen creek on his horse to deliver her, a two-and-a-half pound baby who was put into a shoe box.
As a young girl she began what would become a life of nurturing by caring for her younger siblings while her parents and older brother Sonny worked in the field. On August 12, 1939, she married Edmond August Koerner, a gentle carpenter of Govalle Texas. They lived in Austin and had two children, Monty and Anita.
Throughout her life Elna was a Lutheran, a woman of unquestioning faith, cheerfulness, and simple pleasures. Her pleasant companionship was enjoyed by all who met her.
After her husband's death in 1967, Elna lived with and cared for her parents until they passed. In later years she took delight in country drives with Monty or Anita and sisters Minnie and Audery and niece Sara. She never missed an opportunity to visit with family.
Elna was a believer in God; her focus was only on good. We know the Lord has welcomed her with open arms.
She is survived by son Monty Koerner and wife Nancy of Conroe, daughter Anita Baldridge, sister Audery Stone, brothers Bobby Wisian and Larry Wisian and wife Joan, grandchildren Tommy Koerner and wife Leslie and Kyle Koerner and wife Sharon, Amy Watson and husband Roy, two great-grandchildren, one great-great-grandchild and eight nieces and nephews.
