Elva was born January 5, 1907, at Carey, Idaho, the fifth of six children of Perry and Ada Howard Harris. She was raised and educated in Carey, and graduated from high school at Shoshone. There she met Robert Arthur Schuppenies, star of the high school football team. They were married June 2, 1929, at Shoshone. He worked for the state highway department and she worked for the bakery at Shoshone until 1932, when they moved to Burley where their first daughter, Jean Elva, was born. They then moved to Mackay, Challis and Arco, and back to Challis where their second daughter, Dorothy Marie, was born. Their their daughter, Gale Ann, was born in Gooding. They then moved to Rigby in 1955, where they lived for 10 years. In 1965, they moved to Boise, where she had since resided.
She was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and served in various callings in the many wards she attended. She was currently a member of the South Stake 24th Ward.
Elva always gave what she could to others, forever going that “extra mile” to help someone or brighten their day. She loved the temple, and attended regularly. She was a very giving person to both her family and friends--someone you could count on to be there for you any time for anything. She was loved by all who knew her.
She was a member of the Arrowrock Camp of the Daughters of Utah Pioneers.
Elva loved nature, and had a green thumb for flowers; her home and yard were surrounded by their beauty.
One of Elva’s great loves was quilting. As a little girl, she had always appreciated pretty quilts, so when her mother taughter her how to quilt, it became to her a symbol of beauty. Whether it was for a birthday, wedding, or welcoming a new baby, the quilts she made for people were always original and beautiful. She was an artist with fabric and thread; her canvas was love. Elva will be greatly missed.
Survivors include a sister, Roka Stoner of Shoshone; two daughters, Jean Broyles of Moscow and Gale Preuett of Boise; six grandchildren; and four great grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband, a daughter, two sisters and two brothers.
The family suggests tha memorials may be made to the 24th Ward Missionary Fund; or flowers may be sent to the 24th Ward Chapel.
Friends may call Tuesday one hour prior to services at the 24th Ward LDS Chapel in Boise.
