F.E.Damms, and later had her confirmation by Rev. Guetzlaf. Elaine graduated from Elkport High School on May 15th, 1947. She then attended 12 weeks at the University of Dubuque where she earned her Teaching Certificate. She taught for 5 years in a country school in Jefferson Township. Elaine was united in marriage to Russell W. Schroeder on June 3, 1952 at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Guttenberg, IA. Together they were blessed with three children; Sandra, Rodney and Don. Together she and Russell ran Schroeder Hardware, the family business, for over forty years. Elaine enjoyed a lifetime of cooking delicious meals for family, friends, and church gatherings. Her excellent holiday dishes have become traditions that will be passed down for generations. She was known for her ability to turn any type of wild game into a delicacy. Elaine and Russ were blessed with many friendships made through the hardware business. She is remembered for her competitive spirit when playing Bingo, Fargo, and her all-time favorite; Euchre. Each person Elaine touched knew exactly where they stood with her; she had a way of saying things just as she saw them. Elaine knew where she stood with God, and put her trust in the Lord Jesus.
