Elizabeth was married to her high school sweetheart Richard Klocke on February 11, 1967 and they made their home in Marshalltown, Iowa. They had two daughters, Kristine Klocke and Jennifer Montgomery.

Elizabeth worked at Emerson (Fisher Controls) in Marshalltown, Iowa and retired in 2009.

Elizabeth was an avid Vikings fan and she cheered on the Iowa Hawkeyes as well. The music of Elvis Presley was top on her list and she was so pleased to visit Graceland with her family in 2019. She enjoyed reading and tending to her flower gardens. She was warm and welcoming and never met a stranger. She loved celebrating the holidays with her family and friends and will be deeply missed by all who knew her.

She is survived by her husband, Richard Klocke; her daughters, Kristine Klocke and Jennifer Montgomery; siblings Ronald Testroet, and Kenneth Testroet. She was preceded in death by her parents, four siblings, and many other dear relatives and friends.

There will be a Celebration of Life on Saturday, October 2nd at Van Gogh’s (129 E Main Street) in Marshalltown, IA from 11am – 1pm. Please come and share your memories!
