ELMWOOD, WI – On Monday, April 22, 2024, two memorial benches were unveiled in the Village of Elmwood in honor of two former residents and dedicated community members, Joanne Baier and Marybeth Tschumperlin. The Elmwood Area Community Club facilitated the design and placement of the benches that will honor the memory of Joanne and Marybeth.
Joanne Baier wore many hats during her time in Elmwood. She was a longtime employee of and advocate for the Village of Elmwood and Pierce County.
During her library career, Joanne played a key part in the creation of two local town libraries and the county’s books-by-mail service. She was also a member of the Elmwood Centennial Book Committee – who put together and published Elmwood’s very own history book, “Life in the Valley: Elmwood’s First 100 Years.”
