Elsie Hyde passed away peacefully May 5, 2020 at Madison Care Centre. Elsie was born February 23, 1925 in Merritt, BC to John and Agnes Davidson. Elsie was happily married to the love of her life, Allan Askew in 1946 until his death in 1982. They raised 3 children in New Westminster: Maureen, Jean and Ken. Elsie married Tim Hyde in 1990, also from New Westminster. Tim passed away in 2006. Elsie was extremely proud of her family and had a loving, unique, and special relationship with each of us, especially all the memories of time spent at “Wee Askew Inn” at Pitt Lake. Elsie was a beautiful classy lady who had many friends. She was a talented seamstress, enjoyed her knitting, crocheting, golf and bridge. As well, she looked forward to doing her daily crossword.
