Elsie is deeply loved and missed by her husband of 68 years Harold, her sons Michael and Craig, their wives Eleanor and Toni and forever remembered as a loving grandmother by her grandchildren Dana, Brianne, Caitlin, Tyler (Jen), and Logan.
Elsie was blessed with many achievements throughout her full life, finding her calling as a volunteer at a young age. As a volunteer for the St. Johns Ambulance Service and a 63 year Associate of the Sisters of St. John the Devine, Elsie was the recipient of many awards including the Provincial Community Action Award presented by the Lieutenant Governor of Ontario. Elsie cherished her work with Community Living, teaching sign language to developmentally challenged adults.
