Her spirit is carried on by her two remaining children of four, 8 grandchildren, 15 great-grandchildren and 6 great-great grandchildren.

A woman who had seemed immortal even in her old age, believed in miracles She had no fear and was recently studying to renew her driver's license. She adhered to "nothing is impossible".

We will be forever grateful to her for being the best mom, mother in law and grandma we could ever ask for. We are forever better because of her. As per her wishes, there will be no funeral services.

I only remember meeting Elsie once when I was a little girl. Thoughts and prayers for the family. Joanne Clark was my grandmother.

The weather was awful in Spokane and Elsie was hosting a baby shower. The roads were terrible so Larry took me to the shower and Elsie invited him in and to stay. He won every game and ate most of the refreshments. Elsie loved it and invited him back for all her showers. This was Elsie, always enjoying people and life. Hers was a life well lived.
