Elsie Jean Kostelny Mauratt

My mother, Elsie Jean Kostelny Mauratt, was a World War II Cadet Nurse.  She was admitted to the corps on September 22, 1943, and issued her card on March 1, 1944.   She worked at Lutheran Deaconess Hospital School of Nursing in Chicago Illinois.   Throughout her life she valued her early nursing experiences.  She died in Portland, Oregon, on March 11, 1996, after lovingly devoting her life to her husband and 2 daughters.   Our dad (age 88) still resides in Portland and is a proud WWII Navy veteran.  He would be especially pleased if mom's war effort was also officially and publicly recognized by the government.
