Mrs. John Demerath Elaine Lucassen 315 Cherry Lane, Little Chute
Age 67, God saw she was getting tired, and a cure was not to be, so he put his arms around her, and whispered 'Come with Me.' With tearfull eyes we watched her suffer, and saw her fade away. Although we loved her dearly, we could not make her stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hardworking hands to rest. God broke our hearts, to prove to us He only takes the best. Elaine passed away at St. Elizabeth Hospital on Tuesday, December 17, 1991, after a long battle with emphysema and her recent complication of pneumonia. She was born December 17, 1923 in Little Chute. She lived in Kaukauna most of her life, moving to Little Chute in 1973. She was a member of St. John Catholic Church, the American Legion Auxilary Post No. 258, Little Chute, and the VFW Auxiliary Post No. 3319, Kaukauna.
Survivors include her husband of 44 years, John; a daughter and son in-law, Glora and Jean [Jeno] Behrendt, Freedom; two granddaughters, Consuelo and Brenda Behrendt.
She was preceded in death by a brother, Ervin in 1945; her mother, Marie Lucassen in 1981; and her father, William Lucassen in 1985.
