She retired after working there for 28 years, KABC reported.
Elmer’s daughter Lynne Elmer worked there, too, starting in 1958, and even got to see Walt Disney having breakfast with his grandchildren.
One of Lynne's children also worked at the theme park, as did Bill and Sandy Cushing, who met at the park and got married a few years later, KABC reported.
"One of those things that we always had to tell people was that this is the happiest place on earth and we really believe that, and we thought it was and we know it is," Doug Elmer told KABC.
