Else’s journey began in the Dutch East Indies. After the war Else, Lex and their three children traveled to Amsterdam (Holland). Wanting the very best for their young family, they decided to immigrate to America (Chicago). After a short stay, they moved to Franklin Park, Il. Where together with Lex ran the family piano business. They built and expanded to a larger facility in Northlake Il. Else loved to travel, needle work, shopping and will always be known for her beautiful penmanship and always writing encouraging words of faith to all in their time of need. Else became an Andre Rieu fan. She will be greatly missed by her family and all who knew her.
