Elwood O. Ayers1925 - 2013Elwood O. Ayers, 87, a resident of Kenosha, died Tuesday, May 14, 2013, at the Sterling House in Kenosha.Elwood was born on Oct. 4, 1925, to the late Raymond and Ethel (Engelhart) Ayers in Dover Township, Michigan. On Jan. 21, 1944, he enlisted in the USCG Merchant Marines. He was honorably discharged on Aug. 15, 1945. On Aug 6, 1949, he married Ruth Jackson in Angola Indiana. They moved to Kenosha in 1960 from Jasper Michigan. Elwood was employed by Chrysler Corp until he retired in 1982. In his early years he rode motorcycles. Some might remember him as Tom. He enjoyed growing tomatoes and sharing them with wonderful neighbors. Best of all, meeting great friends at Shirls Drive Inn for lunch nearly every day with Larry. He enjoyed their shocker, extra onions and coleslaw. We now envision he and Ruth rumbling across the Big Sky darting in and out of the clouds meeting up with friends, enjoying life as it should have been in their golden years.Elwood is survived by his daughter, Kathryn (Larry) Cooper of Mount Pleasant, Wis.; and stepson, H. Richard (Doreen) Jackson of Phoenix, Ariz.
