Elsie V. Sroda

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Elsie Virginia Sroda.  She peacefully went to heaven at the age of 92 on January 26, 2025 surrounded by her family and loved ones in Stevens Point, Wisconsin.

Elsie Virginia Sroda was born on August 8, 1932 in Knowlton, Wisconsin.  For high school, she attended St. Joseph Academy.  Later she married the love of her life, Felix J. Sroda, on August 9, 1952 at St. Bartholomew Church in Stevens Point, Wisconsin.  They were blessed to have had 66 years together.  On their dairy farm, they raised their growing family of seven.

Elsie enjoyed growing fruits, vegetables and beautiful flowers, especially gladiolas, daffodils, and tulips.  She also liked taking her family strawberry, blueberry, and cherry picking.  Later she crocheted ponchos, afghans, snowflakes, and little angels.  When the grandchildren started arriving, Elsie loved every moment she spent with her active, loving grandchildren.  She was proud of her family.
