She was born in the family house on September 23, 1922 in Waverly, IA to Henry and Ena (Whitaker) Giesler. Because she was so tiny, her parents put her in a cardboard box with cotton quilting batting as they did not expect her to survive. Not only did she survive, she thrived throughout her long life. Elois graduated from Waverly High School in 1940 and from Wartburg College with a Bachelor's degree in Education in 1949. While going to college, Elois spent time working in the accounting department at the Coonradt Ford Dealership in Waverly, IA which she really enjoyed. When she finished her shift at the dealership, she worked doing more accounting for a company that made sugar from sugar beets. On weekends, she worked at the ticket booth of the local movie theater. She was proud to state that she paid her entire way through college because of her hard work. After graduating from college, Elois married Harold Jacob Goerz on June 5,1949 at the Missouri Synod Lutheran Church in Artesian, IA . They soon started a family and Elois became a stay-at-home mother. She used her skills of education, sewing, patching clothes, quilting and cooking to keep her four growing boys and husband happy. As her husband moved from job to job over the years, the boys were deposited in different locations as each one went to college. For 13 years, Elois taught computer word processing and spreadsheet usage at Ancilla College in Donaldson, IN. When she was not teaching a class, she worked in the front office of Ancilla College. After her husband passed away in 1997, she moved to West Lafayette, IN to be closer to family. Elois loved being with her family and enjoyed her neighbors very much. She loved to read, sew, work in her flower garden, paint by numbers and working on jigsaw puzzles. When she got the chance, she loved to travel, but when at home, she loved her Pomeranian dog, Pepper. In her later years as her eyesight failed, she worked on jigsaw puzzles by feel and listened to audio books. Elois is survived by four sons; six grandchildren; three step-grandchildren; four great-grandchildren; five step-great-grandchildren; six step-great-great-grandchildren; and one brother in-law. She was preceded in death by her husband; parents; older sister, Mary, who died in infancy; brother, Lester, who passed at age 14; and her dogs, Chelsea and Pepper. Visitation will be on Friday, February 21, 2020 from 3:00-4:00 PM with the funeral at 4:00 PM at Tippecanoe Memorial Gardens. Burial will be at Harlington Cemetery in Waverly, IA.
