Biography

Eloise was born in 1916 in Chicago, Illinois, the daughter of John Walter and Edith Budd. She married first, in 1934, to John Skorodinsky (divorced after 1940). She apparently married second, after 1940 to _____ Konopa, then married third in 1950, to Herman Berghuis.^[1] She married fourth, before 1968, to Lawrence P. Tully.

Elsie was a packer at Nabisco Biscuit Corp. for 20 years (in Chicago?). Based on medical records on death certificate, it appears that she moved to Santa Monica, CA, in 1978. She passed away, age 66, in 1983 in Los Angeles, California.

A gravestone exists for Eloise at Saint Mary Catholic Cemetery and Mausoleum, Evergreen Park, Cook County, Illinois, with her husband Lawrence Tully. She purchased the gravesite for her husband and placed markers for both of them. Currently her marker just lists her birth year.^[2]

Notes

• Birth record lists birth year as 1915, but death record lists 1916, as well as her gravestone (that she purchased) .. will assume her birth year was 1916.
• Middle name is possibly "Mary" after her mother's middle name.
