Elsie Louise Vasquez, 80, of Buckeye, AZ , formerly of Avondale, AZ passed away August 13, 2016. She was born April 12, 1936 in Hanna, OK. Those whom she loved knew her as Sissy while her many grandchildren knew her as “Sama.” She was the most lively 80-year-old anyone had ever had the great fortune of meeting. She was a story teller and had a special knack for making anyone’s day better just with a phone call. She had a deep love for her family and her friends. She didn’t say it often, but you knew she meant it deeply when she would say, “I love you.” She had a life full of love, happiness, and beautiful moments. She is remembered by everyone who loves her; her daughters, her sons, and all of her grandchildren. Sama, we can’t wait to see you again and hear all of the new stories you’ll have for us.
Elsie is survived by her daughters, Marilyn Davis, Margaret Orme, and Patti Chavez; sons, Charles, William, Michael and David Hickle, and David Vasquez; 23 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her daughter, Tammy Vasquez and grandchild, Kira Litten.
A viewing will be held at 10:00 am with a funeral service to follow at 11:00 am on Saturday, August 20, 2016 at Thompson Funeral Chapel, 926 S. Litchfield Rd., Goodyear, AZ. Interment will be at West Resthaven, Glendale, AZ.
