Please join us as we gather for a potluck and fundraiser to celebrate the life and legacy of Elza “Tony” Didlo—beloved friend, mentor, evangelist, elder, pastor, and brother in the Lord.
Tony went home to his eternal rest on November 25, 2025. While his funeral was held in his hometown of Tarkio, Missouri, many in the Des Moines, Iowa community where he ministered and who knew and loved him were unable to make the trip. Because of that, we invite you to come together locally to remember, honor, and give thanks for the profound impact Tony had on our lives and our faith.
This will be a time of remembrance, shared stories, and celebration of the hope we have in Christ—a hope Tony lived, preached, and modeled so faithfully.
Date: Friday, March 6, 2026
Time: 6:30 – 8:30pm
Location:
Polk County Northside Community Center
3010 6th Avenue
Des Moines, IA 50313
All who were touched by Tony’s life and ministry are welcome.
FUNDRAISER
Due to Tony’s declining health, he was unable to set aside funds for funeral expenses. These costs have now fallen to his aging parents, who are not able to carry this financial burden alone. If you feel led to help, please consider making a donation to assist with these expenses.
Checks payable to:
Davis Funeral Home
