Elsie was a lovely person, very proud of her sons, their wives and of course the grandchildren and great grandchildren. She was a fighter, kept coming back from her serious illnesses surprising all. Expecting to find her in bed very ill, was found instead in physical therapy working on getting back to her own home. Loved her little accent, she will be missed.
