Elsie taught school in Nebraska and Wyoming. She was a loving wife, mother, aunt, grandmother, sister and friend. She shared her joys with many people who loved her in many ways.

She sang songs, recited poems, baked cookies, gave great hugs and was often seen patting the arm of friends in love, joy and sympathy. Elsie enjoyed quilting, embroidery, crochet, making pansy cards and other crafts.

Her family will always celebrate and cherish the time they were privileged to spend with her.
