Elsie worked as a bookkeeper for many years in The Pas and Winnipeg.
She retired from Granny’s Poultry in 1994.
She was married in 1965 to John Pypka. They had a happy fulfilled life together till John’s passing in 2006.
Elsie loved her friends and family. Her hobbies were everything to do with her friends and family. She would welcome you into her home with lots love, your favourite foods and always a glass or wine with ice. She enjoyed watching the Jets games and curling. Her home was immaculate, filled with love and happiness. Elsie was always joyful, full of life, jokes, and wit. She just loved to be around people. She made sure to keep in contact with everyone. If you ever needed to know something about a family member or an old friend, you’d call Elsie. She enjoyed tending to her inside and outside flowers. What made her the happiest was talking on the phone to her family and friends. Her daughter and grandchildren were her world. Every phone call or visit was what she cherished the most.
Later in life Elsie found love again with Bill Filipchuk. They enjoyed 7+ years together travelling back and forth from Dauphin to Toronto.
The family would like to thank all of the Medical Staff at the Brandon Hospital for their care, support, and compassion over the last few months and further, Elsie’s dear family, that could visit her during her short time at Brandon Hospital. We are grateful for all the phone calls, text messages, flowers, and Facebook messages.
Rest now beautiful Elsie, you will never be forgotten and will stay in our hearts forever.
Services will be held in Dauphin in June. Date to be determined.
Donations can be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Manitoba in honor of Elsie Pypka.
