    Elmer Herbert Riekenberg

    November 24, 1929 - June 28, 2021

    Elmer Riekenberg was born in Barnes, Kansas and then moved to Corvallis with his family when he was a young boy. Elmer attended Zion Lutheran School and graduated from Corvallis High School. Later he served his country as a member of the Oregon National Guard. The majority of his career was spent working as part of the road crew for Benton County. Elmer was blessed with a positive attitude toward life and the gift of telling a good story. He enjoyed hunting, watching the car races @ Willamette Speedway in Lebanon, tinkering on cars, road trips to Kansas and Nebraska for family reunions, attending garage sales with his sister, Laverna, and dining at Izzy’s restaurant! He was a lifelong member and supporter of programs both @ Zion Lutheran Church and school. He is survived by his niece, Kathy Dawson (Steve) and grandnephew, Jeff Dawson (Marianne) and nephew, Albert Eggers (Susan). A memorial service will be held at McHenry Funeral Home on July 19, 2021 at 11:00 with refreshments to follow. In lieu of flowers- donations may be made to Zion Lutheran School. The family would like to say a special thanks to the members of Zion Lutheran Church who provided transportation to church activities and to the staff @ Holistic Hands Seniors Adult Foster Care for all of their loving care.
