Anna Elbers

was born to Louis and Grace (Beyenhof) Niessink on February 10, 1932 in Steen, Minnesota. She attended elementary school in Steen and then Luverne High School in Luverne, Minnesota, graduating in 1949. On June 8, 1950 Anna was united in marriage to George Elbers at the Reformed Church in Steen. Following their marriage they made their home in Steen where they raised their seven children. George passed away unexpectedly on May 23, 1983. Anna remained living in Steen until March, 2000 when she moved to Luverne. She was employed as a Nurses Aide at the Tuff Memorial Home in Hills, Minnesota from September 1985 until November 1998 and at the Luverne Style Shop from November 1998 until August 2007. Since then Anna volunteered at the Luverne Veterans Home and Sr. Citizens Center.

Anna was a member of the American Reformed Church of Luverne. She was a member of various Ladies Circles at both the Steen Reformed Church and the American Reformed Church. She enjoyed reading, traveling, and playing cards with many special friends. She was also an avid Minnesota Twins fan. Most of all, the time spent with her family was Anna's greatest joy.

She was preceded in death by her husband, George; infant daughter, Marsha Lynn; and parents, Louis and Grace Niessink. A tree will be dedicated by Sanford Luverne Hospice in memory of Anna. Blessed be her memory!
