On New Year's Eve, at the request of my father, Wayne Zwickey, I looked for contact information on Elise's mother. Instead, to my shock and sorrow, I found Elise's obituary. Words cannot begin to express how sorry I am to hear of her passing. Our parents were friends, as were Elise and I during our last years in high school and while we worked at the Pioneer Inn together. So many wonderful memories. I always admired her spirit and intelligence. If possible, I would like to speak to someone from her family. I can be contacted at lzwickey@gmail.com. Again, my deepest sympathies.

We are so saddened to lose Elise to soon.  I have such fond memories of raising our sons together, through elementary years at Werner, and onto Preston Middle School.  Sitting at baseball games discussing our kids antics while David coached and watching our kids growing into young men together.  Hosting sleepovers at her house for the kids and feeding them endless amounts of food. (never complaining about how much my child would eat.)  We could pick up right where we left off when I would see her at the grocery store, or school activity, or health club.  

Elise was dedicated to her family and went to great effort to maintain structure and certainty for her children even choosing to relocate their home to stay in the school district. Then serving as a volunteer in so many capacities as a volunteer coordinator, home room parent, and many more. 

I will miss seeing Elise at Miramont and commiserating over how hard the pushups were to get through. Her intelligence, kindness and generosity are great attributes that she shared with all who knew her.  I believe those attributes will live on, as will the memories she created with all who knew.  Our thoughts and deep condolences are with the Branson family during this time.

Elise truly was the definition of an extraordinary parent and selfless human being. She became part of the Werner family, always volunteering and helping out where ever needed. As the Werner counselor, she made my job so much easier, always a shinning example of what a parent should be.

Dear Branson Family,
I have so many fond memories of Elise.  I really enjoyed getting to know her over the years while our children were at Werner. Our paths did not cross as much as they  used to, but this last Fossil football season, Derek and I arrived at a game and Elise saw me and waived me over so that they could buy our tickets for us because the line was so long!  I will miss bumping into you around town, seeing your warm smile.  You will always be remembered by me as a kind, beautiful, sweet friend.  We wish your family peace.

Elise is an incredibly kind and generous soul. We were happy to stand outside countless King Soopers stores with her as she supervised Scout popcorn sales. Her sense of humor always made it so much more fun. And those early soccer games - watching those adorable little guys trying to kick the ball toward the correct goal! We mourn the loss of such a beautiful person and our hearts go out to Matt, Ben, and David. Please know we are here for you. Mark, Tracy, Joseph and Aidan Brady

Elise was the real deal - an authentic, genuine and loyal friend, whose devotion to her family was unmissable. I first had the pleasure of meeting Elise many years ago when the boys played soccer together. . . when everyone else was avoiding eye contact (including myself) as Nick looked for a volunteer ref, she was always the first to step in to fill the need. . . always. She was a special lady indeed, and I am so very very sorry for your loss.

Warmest,
Nick, Ali, Harry and Eli Yoxall

Elise left her mark on our community through the giving of her time.  She was the energizer bunny when it came to making things happen.  I have many fond memories of her through volunteering at Werner, Cub Scouts and baseball.  She loved her boys, all three of them, and would do anything for them.  It hasn't always been easy, but she held such grace through everything.  My heart breaks for her family during this difficult time.  My thoughts and prayers are with you all.  May God's peace and comfort surround you.

Ben and Matt,
From the time I spent with your mom when you were younger I knew she was truly devoted to you both. She loved all the activities you shared as a family, including living at the baseball fields most summers. I am deeply sorry for the loss of your mother.
Dave, 
I'm at a loss for words and so deeply saddened about Elise. I send you peace and courage at this difficult time.

Elise was so kind and dedicated to everyone...55 is much too soon. Much love and prayers to her family.

So saddened to hear of Elise's passing. She was right beside me as we hiked Horsetooth Rock together (my first time!) and got to know one another. She was a wonderful person and will truly be missed by MANY:heart:

Elise was a lovely person. I, too, remember her fondly from Cub Scouts - she and I took a group of boys to a summer camp spread over a series of days. I saw Elise recently and we talked of ""old times"" - never did she let on that she was ill. She was just as positive then as ever. I am deeply saddened to hear of her passing and send much love to her family. Elise touched many, many lives. She understood how to live.

We did not know Elise, but by her choice of husbands and the character of her children,she must have have been amazing.  We are so very sorry to hear of this loss and would like the entire family to know that they are in our thoughts and prayers.  Please know that our family is here if you are in need of anything.  God give you peace and healing during this difficult time.
Tami, Liam and the entire O'Malley family

Deepest sympathies to David and the entire Branson family. We enjoyed working with Elise at Werner Elementary and through Cub Scouts. She was a tireless volunteer, enormously kind and always willing to help. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers. Chad, Amy, Noah and Henry Hoseth

Our hearts are saddened, and Elise will be greatly missed.  I've enjoyed volunteering and visiting with Elise for many years.  I will especially miss her generous heart and sweet spirit.  We will keep you and the boys in our thoughts and prayers, and wish to help in any way possible.  Janet & Phil, Luke & Vanessa Elliott

Our love and prayers are with you and your family Dave. There aren't adequate words to express our sadness for the loss of your dear wife and mother. If there is anything we can do to ease this in anyway please don't hesitate to ask. In just one short year your family has become a part of our family.  Marge & Aidan Carr

Our hearts are breaking for you Dave, there are no words to express how sorry we are for your loss. Elise was such a beautiful person and good friend, we will miss her very much. It was obvious that you, Ben and Matt were the center of her world, she was always so loving and caring to all of us around her. She definitely made the world a better place. We care about you and the boys very much and we will be here for you always, Andrea, Greg and Christian

My thoughts and prayers go out to the Branson family!  Elise was a very special person who I had the honor of knowing through volunteer work starting at Werner Elementary. She had so many gifts and so dedicated in helping others! A wonderful person that will always be in my heart.

Sending prayers, deepest sympathy and love to you David, Ben and Matthew. Elise was always so kind to us as we worked our way through  elementary school and cub scouts.  Thinking of you all.

Elise was such a wonderful parent volunteer and I enjoyed working alongside her during so many events and in every school our kids have shared. She so generously gave of her time and talents, and her attention to detail was amazing - so many of us were blessed by her. We're so sorry. Our hearts are with you David, Ben and Matt :heartpulse: We are here for you.... Grillo family

So sorry to hear about Elise's passing. Words are so inadequate but my thoughts and prayers are with you all. Heaven gained a very special angel. xx
