Houdek on June 20, 1955 at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Agnew, NE.

She was also a member of the Altar Society at St. Michael's Catholic Church in Central City, South Central Nebraska Czech Club, and a member of Catholic Daughters of the Americas. Elsie was instrumental in bringing Benes and Hajek families together with her many years of research and compilation of history and genealogy. Her passions in life included baking cakes for all occasions, especially wedding cakes, baking her famous crescent rolls, gardening, canning, irrigating, and helping drive grain trucks on the family farm. There wasn't much she couldn't do! Elsie's cherished memories were of her family spending time at the farm. Elsie was preceded in death by her loving husband of 39 years; her parents, Charles and Rose Benes; son, David Houdek; brothers, Rudy Benes, Philip Benes, Stephen Benes, Richard Benes; and sister, Stella Fiedler.

Her 26 grandchildren and 26 great-grandchildren were her pride and joy. She was proud of them and loved each one.
