Elsie was born in Eatonia, Sask and passed away peacefully at the age of 86. Elsie was the youngest daughter and twelfth child of thirteen children of Bertha and August Hennes.
She is survived by her children Darlene, Deborah (Lisa), Diane (Jay), Darren (Simone); grandchildren Brittney, Tiffany, Wyatt, Nash; siblings Martha, Art (Beatrice); and many nieces and nephews.
Elsie is predeceased by her parents, August (1963) and Bertha (1978) and ten siblings, Reinholt (1911), Adolf (1912), Olga (1915), Edmund (1978), Walter (1988), Bernard (1998), Hilda (2000), Rudolph (2001), Tillie (2012) and Wanda (2014).
Elsie was not afraid of hard work and faced many challenges in her 86 years. She will be fondly remembered for her sense of humour, spunk and passion for her family. Elsie was generous with her things, generous with her time and generous with her love. We are truly blessed to have such a wonderful Mom, Grandmother, Sister, Aunt and Friend.
Our lives are changed now, not because she is gone, but because she touched us.
Funeral Service will be at Victory Memorial Park, South Surrey on Tuesday, August 14th at 1:30pm. Viewing prior to service and graveside burial following service.
Thank-you to the staff at Elim Village for the wonderful care you provided to our Mother for the last 7 years.
