She was married to Reynold Martini on August 31, 1941. Together they were blessed with Three children, 4 Grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren. After getting married they bought a farm by Sebeka. Elsie loved to bake. She really preferred to work in the fields next to Reynold. Then when Reynold started business as a livestock dealer, Elsie was driving truck right with him - or driving her truck behind him! A family vacation was taken every fall to see Reynold’s parents in Portland, OR and to visit their favorite place in Sea Side Oregon. They also bought a place to winter in the sun in Florida where Reynold fished and Elsie took up painting. They loved their winters in Florida and then coming back to Sebeka in time for spring fishing. In 2018, they sold their home and moved to be closer to their family in Oregon, to Silver Creek Assisted Living in Woodburn, OR.
