She was a mother, daughter, sister, grandmother, aunt, friend and wife. She had an enormous heart and would do anything for anyone. Elsie was a wonderful homemaker, she was a great cook and enjoyed cooking for her family, and loved decorating for the holidays. She enjoyed spending time with her grandkids, having picnics, hiking trails, and spending time outside in the yard with her flowers and plants. Birthdays and cards were important to her. She spoiled her "grandpuppy” Star. She enjoyed talking sports with her sons, and enjoyed coloring and doing crafts with her grandkids.
