Elda was born on January 8, 1920, in Rison, Arkansas to James Franklin Hardy and Myra Gertrude (Winfrey) Hardy and grew up on a farm in Ochiltree County, Texas, where she learned the values of hard work, honesty, and faith. She attended McMillen country school and later graduated from Perryton High School, May 1937. In 1939, she married Earl Jake Schwalk, and together they built a loving home, working side by side on their farm and dairy and raising four children. After Earl's passing, she continued to rely on her strong faith, eventually moving into town. She worked at Perryton High School, Big 4 Packing, and retired from the Abstract Office, in 1984. She remained active in her later years, quilting for her grandchildren and tending her yard. A member of the Primitive Baptist Church in Perryton, she was grateful for the Lord's blessings throughout her long life. She will be remembered for her kindness, resilience, and deep devotion to her family and faith.
