Elvera Lieurance, 94, born Oct. 10, 1926 in Palatine, Ill. to Arthur and Dorothea Linnemann, went to home to her maker on Dec. 6, 2020.
She married Gordon Lieurance on Jan. 17, 1953. They lived in Delavan all their lives. She and Gordon farmed for many years. Then Elvera went to work in a factory for many years into her 80s. She retired from Swiss Tech when she was 85 years old.
Elvera was an extremely hard worker. She and Gordon spent many years raising horses and ponies. They did many things from showing horses to trail riding. She was the backbone of the family. She loved and supported her daughters and their families in all their endeavors. They joked about her being the “Energizing Bunny.”

She also had two more great-grandchildren due in 2021. She is also survived by a sister, Lois (Leroy) Evans of Delavan.
She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband and five siblings.
