Elsie was an avid gardener. Many hours were spent weeding, hoeing, and later harvesting the abundant strawberries, raspberries, vegetables, and let’s not forget….all the apples! She enjoyed baking bread and buns, and cooking. One of her great joys was entertaining. Hardly a Sunday went by that there wasn’t a table full of family and friends, sharing in the fruits of her labors. During retirement, Elsie enjoyed travelling with Gus, knitting and crocheting, and becoming a part of the Gideon ministry. The Things of God always took priority in her life.
She leaves to mourn her passing her beloved husband of 67 years, Gus, and her children Norman (Adelheid), Elaine (Walter), Marlene (Ron) and Lorne (Trudy). She was a special grandma to her 13 grandchildren, as well as 9 great grandchildren.
Elsie was predeceased by her parents, sister Hilda Fisch, brothers Walter and Alfred, niece Doris Roesler and nephew Vern Redel.
A Celebration of Life Service will be held on Sept. 22nd, 2018 at 2:00 pm in the Barrhead United Church, with internment at Lunnford Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the Gideon's.
