Elsie was always kind to me. That meant a great deal to me as her daughter-in-law. Her kindness was constant throughout her life. Over the years, she gave of herself in many ways. In addition to raising a family, she enjoyed teaching elementary school, and her favorite job had been managing a branch of the Cerebral Palsy foundation. She also highly valued her friendships. She was one of 5 friends in a round robin letter-writing group for over 50 years. In retirement, she and Bob served as volunteers at the local hospital in Branson for many years. We will always appreciate her excellent sense of humor and warm smile. I will always be grateful to know that such a strong, intelligent, and kind person raised my husband and was my friend.
