Elsie was a homemaker for her entire lifetime, and there was nothing better for her than caring for her husband and family. She was a really good cook and kept her home comfortable.

A Christian by faith, she read her Bible and prayed daily. She loved going to Church and enjoyed good gospel music. She was the proud grandmother of two grandchildren, Ty and Wendy, and loved any chance to see them. Later she welcomed 6 great grandchildren and one great-great grandchild. She was a woman of simple pleasures. She enjoyed the view from her own backyard, feeding birds, caring for her favorite dog, Puddles, and gathering her family for a holiday.
