Donald Elbert

Donald S. Elbert was born in Whitamore, Iowa on August 27, 1924. Don entered into eternal life on December 23, 2011. He was 87 years old.

He is survived by his wife Karen Elbert, children, Donna Elbert Van Gheluwe, Patricia Elbert Cooksey, Mark Elbert, Tracy Elbert Kinser, Renee Elbert Sanders, Jay Elbert, Andrea Elbert, and Alan Elbert, twenty grandchildren, nineteen great grandchildren, one sister Juanita Elbert Benson, one brother Percy Elbert.

While born in Iowa, Don always said he got to Texas as fast as he could. He had been a local businessman here in the Rio Grande Valley since 1980. He founded the, now 31 year old company, Furniture Leasing, Inc. and dabbled in real estate.

Don loved the outdoors and though he enjoyed golf his true passion was fishing. He would chase the largemouth bass all over the country.

Don Elbert was an honorable man, serving as a soldier during World War II and as a true entrepreneur. His presence will be missed by all who knew him.
