Elsie was born on November 4, 1927 at Scottsbluff Nebraska to Alex and Mary (Stricker) Hessler. She grew up and received her education in the Mitchell Valley area. In 1948, she married Delbert Trupp, her husband for 72 years, and they farmed in the Lyman area for 45 years until they moved to Scottsbluff in 1993.
She was confirmed in the Lyman Immanuel United Church of Christ in 1944 and became a member there where she sang in the choir and taught Sunday School. She remained a member until they retired from farming and moved to Scottsbluff where they became members of Zion Evangelical Church in Scottsbluff.
Elsie was a dedicated wife and mother who lived her life making sure everyone was well taken care of. Being strong in wisdom, strong in her faith and strong in her convictions, she led by example. This strength will continue in all of us.
