Elsie enjoyed contributing to her community through her work at the duty-free golf course and library. In addition, Elsie loved to read, crochet, knit, play cards, and golf. Elsie also valued spending time with family, including her sisters, brothers, children, and grandchildren.

“When Christ shall come with a shout of acclamation, and take me home, what joy shall fill my heart. Then I shall bow, in humble adoration and there proclaim, my God, how great Thou art.”
