Elnora was at home in Mankato when she died November 25, 2018 at age 92.

She often said “I’ve been lucky. I’ve had a good life.” A favorite lasting memory of this Le Center farm girl was being in the cow pasture with her dad, Albert Zimmerman.

Elnora was the Cannonville county school teacher in the 1940’s.  She humbly represented Le Center as their Fire Queen at the 1947 St. Paul Winter Carnival – “Out of 28 girls, I can’t believe they choose me.”

After years of working on her own farm, raising children and as a seamstress at Munsingwear in Montgomery, she met Ev Oliver.  They married and have enjoyed companionship since 1967.  To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven.

Private family service for now.
