Ellen May (Cramer) Wesemann was born on January 23, 1929, to Chris and Deborah Cramer in Omaha, where her parents operated a small dairy farm before their retirement. She attended McCurdle grade school in Omaha and graduated from Underwood High School which was located at 78th and Underwood Avenue in Omaha before its demolition in the 1970’s. Ellen attended Van Sant School of Business after high school. After business school she worked in the administrative office of Omaha Public Schools before her marriage to Henry Wesemann on August 27, 1954.
