Elsie came to New Brunswick from a large farm in Vermilion AB. As the
oldest child who lost her dad at a young age she became an instant
parent to her younger siblings. She was an avid outdoorswoman who
loved farming, haying, blueberrying and gardening. She was a loving
soul who especially enjoyed spending time with her family. Elsie was a
very active member in the Church of Transfiguration in Bethel.
