Elisabeth H. Thut, age 82, passed away peacefully with family near her side on Wednesday, August 10, 2022, at Harvest Home Assisted Living in Mount Pleasant, WI.

Born August 29, 1939 in the village of Kleinhöflein, Eisenstadt, in the state of Burgenland, Austria, she was the daughter of the late Johann and Maria Sauerwein.

Elisabeth immigrated to the United States in 1961 and proudly received her U.S. Certificate of Naturalization in 1969.  She was a fantastic cook, loved gardening and enjoyed playing golf with friends.  She was a member of various country clubs with her most celebrated moments being her hole-in-one at Aurora Golf & Country Club, hole #3, in 2004 and winning the Women’s Golf Association President’s Cup at Tanglewood Country Club in 2007.  Most of all, Elisabeth was a caring and loving mother to her three boys.

Left to cherish her memory are her three sons: Kirk (Jennifer) Thut of Racine, WI; Ralph Thut of Bay Village, OH; Eric (Dawn) Thut of Aurora, OH; four grandchildren: Anneke, Jakob, Lindsay and Logan.  Also surviving are nieces, nephews and other relatives in Austria.  In addition to her parents, Elisabeth was preceded in death by her brothers Johann Sauerwein and Franz Lehner.

Per her wishes, cremation and a private service are planned. Friends are invited to visit with the family on Saturday, August 27, 2022 from 1:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. at Panini’s Bar & Grill, 8870 Darrow Road, Twinsburg, Ohio, 44087.

    Always had fun with you! ❤️ My favorite memory is when you and I rode standing up in the back of Eric’s friend’s Jeep and turfed a “lawn” while singing, well actually more like screaming, the verse “Alice!, Who the @#$& is Alice? By Smokie. See you upstairs someday😘

    My sympathies to the family. I am a neighbor and got to know Elizabeth casually. My granddaughter and I took cookies to her at one point and she returned the gesture by bringing me a quiche. it was delicious. I wish that we had gotten to know each other better.
    She was a very nice lady.

    I always enjoyed her smiley face and brief conversations when she came to get her mail. My condolences to the family and may the memories they made with her in life ease the pain of their loss.

Testimonials

December 1, 2023

My siblings and I recently had the unfortunate experience of having to plan a funeral for our beloved mother – Juana Munoz. During this difficult time, we were fortunate enough to come across a funeral home that truly went above and beyond what was expected. Their attention to detail and dedication to ensuring our comfort and safety throughout the entire process was truly remarkable. From the moment we stepped foot into the funeral home, we were greeted with warmth and compassion. The staff members, but specifically Mark was incredibly understanding and empathetic, making us feel at ease during such a challenging time. Mark took the time to listen to our needs and wishes, and his guidance and support were invaluable. One aspect that truly stood out was Mark’s meticulous attention to detail. He paid close attention to every aspect of the funeral arrangements, ensuring that nothing was overlooked. From the floral arrangements to the music selection, every detail was carefully considered and executed flawlessly. Mark even noticed that the temperature in the room was getting warm and promptly adjusted it to ensure our comfort. What impressed me the most was their commitment to our safety. Mark and his team took every precaution to ensure that our family and guests were protected throughout the entire process. From the funeral home to the cemetery, Mark made sure that all safety measures were in place, including providing hand sanitizers, and even arranging for additional staff members to assist with crowd control. Furthermore, Mark’s professionalism and organization was evident in every aspect of the funeral service. He coordinated seamlessly with the cemetery staff, ensuring a smooth transition from the funeral home to the final resting place. Their attention to detail and commitment to excellence truly made a difference in our overall experience. In addition to their exceptional service, the funeral home also provided us with resources and support beyond the funeral itself. They offered grief counseling services and connected us with local support groups, which proved to be invaluable during our grieving process. Overall, we cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional service provided by Mark, and broader, Draeger Langendorf team. Their attention to detail, commitment to our safety, and genuine compassion made a difficult time a little more bearable. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of funeral arrangements, as they truly go above and beyond to ensure that every detail is taken care of and that families are supported throughout . the entire process. – Epifanio and The Munoz Family
