Elizabeth Kuader has had more than her share of heartache in 100 years of life. Yet she is known best for her infectious grin and positive attitude.
She was born Elizabeth Sitler McLane on Sept. 17, 1909, in Alliance, Ohio. Her father, Arthur J. McLane, died when she was 3, and her mother, Agnes B. Johnston, when she was 12. In 1922, she was adopted by Katherine and Herbert Crouse and moved to Ingram.
She attended Ingram schools until she was 16, then left to work at Rosenbaum Department Store. She later worked at Bell Telephone and became a senior operator. On Sept. 20, 1947, she married Albert Kuader, a steelworker. They lived first in Homestead then moved to Carrick, where Mrs. Kuader still lives.
She volunteered for the American Cancer Center for 20 years and the American Red Cross for 30 years. She has been a bell ringer and made Christmas packages for the Salvation Army; she still attends services every Sunday. She is a member of the Carrick Eagles Auxiliary and a volunteer at the Elder Ado Senior Center, where she joins in activities and trips. Her hobbies include beadwork and crossword puzzles. A party will be held for her today at Michael's Restaurant, Baldwin Borough.
