It's a day of celebration for a Seward woman celebrating her 107th birthday. Elsie Steinauer told her secret to a long life is simply not thinking about your age at all.(Bayley Bischof) Sunday's celebration was a far cry from the drive through celebration she got for her 106th birthday, where Elsie was on the other side of a glass door. "It's really fun to see her expressions and see the people she hasn't seen for a long time and just be a part of life again," said Marti Feit, Elsie's Niece. Elsie said her secret to long life is that there isn't one. "I just live my life. I didn't do anything extra to deserve it, I'm just glad I'm as good as I am at this age," Steinauer said. But her loved ones said each moment with Elsie is a gift. "She's just an amazing person, her mind is incredible," Feit said. Steinauer said she doesn't think about her age often, and doesn't want to make it a big deal. "In many respects I am very grateful to have been able to live this long," Steinauer said. ******* Elsie MaeSteinauer June 24, 1914 - May 24, 2022 Elsie Mae Steinauer, the only child of Arnold and Mary Anna (Kovanda) Petrasek was born in Table Rock, Nebraska on June 24, 1914 and died at the Ridgewood Rehabilitation and Care Center in Seward, Nebraska on Tuesday, May 24, 2022, one month shy of her 108th birthday.

She was interested in many things, had an incredible mind and loved reading and was a great conversationalist. She enjoyed traveling and playing bridge. Elsie took a cruise to Aruba at the age of 95 years. During that time she also got her first desktop computer which she taught herself to use, as well as using her cell phone to call and text and learned to shop with QVC. Elsie was not intimated by technology. She still did her own taxes well past 100 years old. Elsie followed current news, political happenings and had an astonishing knowledge of the stock market. In her 100's Elsie had ridden her stationary bike for over 10, 000 miles. Elsie spent a few winters at the Kensington in Beatrice, returning back to home in Steinauer.

In 2020 and 2021, during the Covid pandemic, Elsie's 105th and 106th birthdays were celebrated with a drive-by birthday parade with police and firetruck escorts.
