Elsie Kathleen Moore, age 91, of Three Rivers, passed away peacefully at her home on Tuesday, October 8, 2024. She was born in Port Huron on November 12, 1932, the daughter of John and Rowenna (Goff) Balog. Elsie was known for her strength and her kindness. In her younger years, she traveled all around the United States, working odd jobs, all the while being a full-time mother. Her dedication to her children was her number one priority, to which all of her children expressed, “she was an amazing mom”. When she wasn’t busy chasing four little ones at home, Elsie showed off her work ethic working at Fischer Auto Body for over twenty years. Through all of her travels, parenting, and working, she never waivered and had a strong faith in God. From time to time, she would relax a little bit, sing songs from the 40’s and 50’s (back when they made good music), and crochet wonderful masterpieces.
Elsie is survived by her four children; Steve Stewart of Marcellus, Ed (Linda) Moore of Elkhart, Bill Moore of Chesterfield, and Kitty Marusek of Sturgis; eleven grandchildren; six great-grandchildren; brother John “Jack” Balog; and many nieces, nephews, and cousins. She was preceded in death by her parents John and Rowenna; and her siblings; June Belland, Sister Rosemary Balog, Maxine Burleigh, Gerald Balog, James Balog, and John Cramer.
Visitation for Elsie will be held on Sunday, October 13, 2024 at the Eickhoff Funeral Home in Mendon from 2pm until 5pm. A funeral mass will take place on Monday, October 14, 2024 at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Three Rivers at 11am with Father Mathias officiating. Following the mass, burial will take place at Bly Cemetery in Marcellus. Memories and condolences may be expressed to the family at eickhofffuneralhome.com
