This month of April 2020 brings us to introduce another of our newer residents, Elsie Feeler. Elsie was born into the Buell family in October of 1936. She was delivered in the family home in Saline, Kansas, and grew up with two brothers and three sisters. She attended school in Saline until her family moved to the country, then she went to country school. The family moved to Winfield, Kansas while she was in high school, where she finished 11th grade. She
acquired her GED later, because she met a man named Howard Feeler, and proceeded to get hitched at the young age of 16. They raised their two children here and there because Howard was in construction and they moved around a lot. Eventually they settled in Clinton, Iowa. Elsie enjoyed time with family & friends going to the movies, playing cards, and participating in the Eastern Star social order. Elsie also enjoyed gardening, canning her produce, and crocheting while Howard drove them places.

At 80, Elsie landed in the hospital and her daughter thought she should move in with her family in Waseca. Elsie gave her house to her local church to use for women in need and became a Minnesota resident. After having a few too many falls, her daughter thought she should move into assisted living and chose Colony Court. They had heard it was a nice place. “I like it.” says Elsie.

We like you too, Elsie, and Welcome!
