Ilona and Marceitta, Elsie was such a sweet and kind woman, a fantastic mother and grandmother. I used to watch her years ago as she interacted with you guys and would think to myself "Wow," what a great mom. She will be greatly missed.

To my cousins., your mom is resting in the arms of Jesus now and very much at peace. Be proud of what you all did for her. She never wanted for anything. She was so happy being around her children and grandchildren. And you had better believe she is still keeping an eye on y'all. I'm going to miss my riding partner to Philly to keep me awake when I was driving. She is going to be missed, but we will see her again.

Sending my condolences and prayers to my daughter's friend Shundrey and her family in the passing of her grandmother, Ms. Elsie Wyatt, whom I have known since my young days of hanging out on Fort Lee where she worked for many years. Ms. Elsie will always be remembered by me as a kind, nice, lady that kept the soldiers and us "young" folks in line back in our days of hanging out at the "Headbusters" snack bar. God gave her to her family for 80 blessed years. Rest in paradise Ms. Wyatt, you will be missed!

Mrs. Elsie Wyatt was one of a group of people I first met upon relocating here in Virginia in 1970. I will always remember her as a warm, kind, and gentle person. Anyone who met her could not help but love her for the kind of person she was. My heart and prayers are with the family and friends. Many will miss her deeply.
