Elizabeth Senf
Elizabeth Senf, precious and loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend, slipped away quietly and peacefully shortly after midnight June 3, 2005, to be with her Lord. On this same day in 1939, she was united in marriage to Robert V. Senf Sr. They were able to celebrate their 66th wedding anniversary in heaven together.

She endured many hardships, especially during the Great Depression and World War II, but was always smiling and happy. She was a Godly woman, whose faith in God gave her life meaning. She shared His love and spread the gospel to everyone at every given opportunity.
Mrs. Senf gave life to seven children. Times were hard, but they always had clean clothes to wear and plenty to eat. She could stretch a can of tuna fish a long way, but you had better be there when she took a batch of cookies out of the oven. Mrs. Senf arose early and stayed up late, working hard to raise her family. She always said, “You gotta be tough”. She always had a special time to love each of her children individually. As her children grew into adulthood, her faith was indelible and remained in them. The life she lived leaves a dazzling testimony to her amazing love of God.
