Elsie Elizabeth was born on April 20, 1928, in Charles City, the daughter of Walter and Meta (Rieken) Becker. She has been a life long member of St. John Evangelical Lutheran Church where she was baptized and confirmed. She graduated with the class of 1946 from Charles City High School. Upon graduation, she held several jobs in the area until moving to New York for a couple of years to live with her brother Albert and his wife.
After returning from New York she was united in marriage to Byron Hoeft on Sept. 22, 1950, and had three sons, Don, Doug and Dave.

Elsie was on bowling leagues for several years. She enjoyed walking and working in her yard. Prior to Byron's death in 1993, they enjoyed many road trips throughout the country. Both her and Byron liked to watch the neighborhood baseball games that were played across the street from their home on Ninth Street. She loved shopping for her grandchildren and was always ready for the holidays with the family often cooking and baking weeks before Christmas. Elsie also enjoyed reading Danielle Steel novels and working on word puzzles.
