Elva was born on October 6, 1929, to Christian and Mattie (Viebrock) Hinderer at Douglas, WA. When Elva was a young child, her family lived in White Bluffs, WA and then returned to Withrow, WA, where she was schooled. She graduated in 1947 from Almira-Hartline High School. Elva returned to Waterville and met Roy Ogle and was married on December 10, 1948, and to this union came Darlene, Debbie, Ruthell and Russell. During her early years of marriage, Elva worked for the Douglas County Treasurer's Office. In the late 1950's, the Ogle's moved to East Wenatchee and Elva became employed with Mid State Electronics. Roy preceded Elva in death in April 1971. Elva then met Leo Choquette of Spokane and married him in November of 1979. They enjoyed many years together, traveling in their RV, fishing, and even river-rafting. Leo preceded Elva in death in November 1990. Elva was a talented seamstress and her quilts and crafts were always a hit at Columbia Heights, where she lived. The yearly craft show always displayed her talents.
