Floyd and Elsye were wonderful people and neighbors. We were not notified of a memorial for Floyd,
but certainly would have attended. We visited with him several times after Elsye's passing. Two great people.

When my wife and I moved to Sun City in 2004, Elsye was the first neighbor we met. Unlike most people, Elsye didn't wait for a chance meeting at the mailboxes, but came over and introduced herself right away.. Whenever we would go on vacation, Elsye took loving care of our cat, Cutey. She cared about everyone in the neighborhood and she could be seen daily walking Fawn, her beloved little dog. Elsye would entertain our grandchildren whenever we would take them across the street for a visit. In fact, the grandkids usually resisited leaving Floyd and Elsye's when it was time to go. They loved Elsye, as we all did.
Rest in peace, Elsye.
