It is with gratitude that we remember her. We will smile and laugh every day remembering the funny things she did in life. Her kind, sometimes ferocious, but always angelic existence will be eternal. As a lifelong member of the Catholic church, her reward is earned, deserved, and forever. As her circle closes, she will remain the kindest, sweetest, and most caring person to grace this earth. Forever our Dad's true love, and forever the best Mom.
A celebration of her life will be held at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday November 2, 2024 at St Joseph's Catholic Church, 230 N 3rd Street, Grand Junction, CO 81501. A brief light brunch will follow, at the parish hall. Elsie will be laid to rest at Olathe Cemetery in Olathe, CO. The family will embark from the church at 1 p.m. sharp. On Friday, November 1, 2024, a short viewing and Rosary will take place from 3 to 5 p.m. at Brown's Funeral Home, 904 N 7th Street in Grand Junction, CO 81501. Elsie loved the color purple, so please consider adding a splash of purple to your attire.
Thank you for the outpouring of love and support, our Mom was everything to us. The family would be honored for contributions in any amount to be made in her name to HopeWest Hospice or The Grand Valley Catholic Outreach.
