Elsie was an amazing mother, cook, seamstress and grandmother. She loved her family with all her heart. Family was key. Every birthday was celebrated regardless of age. The door was always open and family was extended to those less fortunate. To Bob, Steve, Linda, Evan, Alison and Leigh Ann I would like to express my deepest sympathy. Elsie was a great lady who will be missed and remembered fondly.
