Elsie was born on her grandfathers farm, northeast of Maple Creek, SK. Her family relocated to the Bromhead area where she attended Romford school. She worked as a mother’s helper and later worked in Weyburn and Fort San. Elsie married Lawrence Backlun in 1950 and began farm life in the Tribune area. In 1957, they moved to Lake Alma. Elsie was kept busy raising her family, growing huge gardens, canning, baking, raising chickens, hauling grain and picking rocks by hand! Elsie sewed clothes for herself and her children. There was always a knitting, crocheting, quilting or needle work project nearby. Socializing with neighbors and card games was a favorite time. Retirement had them move to Weyburn and then on to Radville. Road trips with family and visits to the farm were special times. The last 8 years, Elsie resided at the Golden Heritage in Radville. Here she made many dear friends and enjoyed playing cards, bingo, shuffle board, jigsaw puzzles and coffee time. Elsie lived a long, full life.
The Funeral Service for Elsie will be held on Monday April 18, 2022 at 2:00 pm from the Radville United Church with Judy Beck, Funeral Celebrant officiating. Interment will follow at Nordalen Cemetery, Lake Alma, SK.
