Although we haven't kept in touch recently, Elsie holds a special place in my heart. Our friendship goes back to childhood days when she still lived on North Pearl Street. After her family moved to Murray Street, we were neighbors as well as friends and classmates. I treasure the memories of good times spent with her, Margie, my sister (Carol) and me.
May she rest in peace and may her family find comfort knowing that she is safely home for eternity.
Fondly,
Dolly (Sadlowski) Carron

Charlie & Family,
We were deeply saddened to read Elsie passed away. She is fondly remembered as a classmate from Maloney Class of 1960.
She always had a smile and we laughed together many times.
Our prayers are with you and your family.
