Elliott Edgar Hoelscher

Elliott Edgar Hoelscher passed away on July 29, 2020 at the age of 87. He was born on December 21, 1932 in Borden, Texas to Edgar Robert and Clara Michalek Hoelscher. He graduated from Weimar High School at the age of 16, and went to work in the oil field. He met Jeanette Brunner at a dance in Ammansville, Texas, and they were married three years later. They moved to the Houston area and he began attending night school at the University of Houston, while working full time during the day and growing his family. He received a Bachelor’s of Business degree in Accounting and retired as Executive Vice President at Bowen Tools, Inc. Prior to Bowen Tools, he worked at WKM and Western Gear. Elliott and Jeanette had 6 children and eventually moved to the Spring Branch area where they have resided for 55 years. He put all of his children through college. Elliott was an avid deer hunter and loved hunting in the Texas Hill Country with his family and friends. His biggest joy was family get-togethers and being with his wife and children. His family was his hobby. He spent his retirement years traveling with his wife, and attending and supporting all of his grandchildren's activities. He was an awesome “Popo”. We will all miss him greatly.

He was preceded in death by his parents and his brother Howard Edward Hoelscher.
