| Published in Today's News Herald Aug. 19, 2018 - Lake Havasu City, Arizona - Eleanor Mae Klotzbach, known as Ele, went to be with the Lord on Aug. 9, 2018. She was born May 28, 1926 in McGregor, Iowa to Carl and Hazel Siegele. She married Willard W. Klotzbach. Bill and Eleanor moved from Iowa City, Iowa, with their two daughters, to Lake Havasu City in 1966. Eleanor was employed by the LHUSD #1 as an instructional assistant from 1971-1992. Eleanor was a very active member of the first church in Havasu, First Southern Baptist Church. Her church membership, involvement and love for the Lord included teaching God's cord, singing in the church choir, dedicated attendance and faithful service. Eleanor enjoyed the surroundings and activities Havasu had to offer, such as hiking, swimming, beachcombing, viewing the sunsets. She frequently commented on the beauty of the mountains, palm tree and beach landscapes. Her 52 years of residence in Havasu and her love for living here prompted her interest in becoming a member of Pioneers of Havasu. She enjoyed getting together with other pioneer friends and families. She was a faithful, loving and compassionate wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. Eleanor will be missed by many. She was preceded in death by her parents, sister Francis Klotzbach, and her husband Willard W. Klotzbach.
