Elsie worked as a custodian 20 years. She loved the outdoors, feeding and watching hummingbirds and feeding grape jelly to the oriels. She loved working in her garden and planting flowers. She loved do crafts and handiwork, crocheting and drawing. Elsie loved spending time with her children and grandchildren and going out with her friends.
