Elsie was a loving and devoted mother and grandmother who enjoyed spending time with her family. She loved being with her grandchildren Timothy, Ciera and Matthew, and most enjoyed when she was with her great-grandchildren Landon and Felix. She particularly loved doing family activities with them like skiing, skating and dancing. She also very much enjoyed owning a fruit farm.
