Burial will be in the Amsterdam Township Cemetery in Kanawha, Iowa. Elsa was born March 30, 1924, in Madison, Minnesota to Olga (Jarshaw) and Melvin Berg. After graduating from Madison High School, she majored in Child Development at Iowa State University. Just before her college graduation, she met her future husband, Tom Thompson. Tom and Elsa married in 1947, beginning 64 years of love and companionship. Elsa worked at the Pammel Court Daycare after graduation. The couple lived in several Iowa communities, including Sioux City and Waverly, before making Ames their permanent home in 1961. Elsa was a homemaker and an active Bethesda Church member. She served her church faithfully as a Sunday School teacher and was a key member of the team that started the Bethesda Church preschool. She enjoyed participating in the church’s Scandinavian Coffees. Her life was centered around family, church, friends, and home. She had a particular interest not only in the lives of her own grandchildren and great-grandchildren, but also in the well-being of every child she met. Elsa is survived by daughter Beth (Chris) Wall of Ann Arbor, Michigan, and son Mark (Barb) Thompson of Minneapolis; grandchildren Morgan (David) Cangelosi, John (Erin) Wall, Valerie Wall, Sonja (Adam) Kosberg, Luke (Carrie) Thompson, Abby (Kendric) Olson, and Kara (Adam) DeMarie; nine great-grandchildren; devoted niece, Susan (Keith) Berg, and other dear relatives and friends.
