Elsie B. Harch

HARCH, Elsie B, 97, of Lutz, passed away on March 15, 2016. Born in New Jersey, Elsie raised her family there and moved to Florida in 1973. Her husband, Christian H Harch, preceded her in death. She is survived by daughter Margaret (Peggy) Bamford (Joseph) of Lutz, son Christian H Harch JR (Judith) of Mullica Hill, NJ. Grandchildren Susan B Nolan, Hollie Rollins (David), Joseph N Bamford Jr. (Kristine), Kathleen Wisniewski (Joseph), Tricia Weller (Ronald). Great grandchildren Alexis, Mia, Joseph, Christian, Erin and Kevin. What an incredible survivor ! Elsie survived the Great Depression, losing her mother in adolescence, and a not so happy home life. She was one of the Greatest Generation and her background was never far from her consciousness. She understood hard work, was tenacious, independent and feisty- traits her Grandchildren have proudly inherited. Dearest Granny we know you are dancing on the beer hall tables in Heaven reunited with your love and having a ball. XOXO Hollie, Susan, and Joe.
