Elsie Evelyn Nelson was born in Winnipeg on December 27, 1930. She lived in Elmwood and Springfield but spent most of her years in Birds Hill on Burton Avenue. Elsie resided in the oldest house in Birds Hill for many years and after retiring from Eaton's she built a new house on the same site.
Elsie was a Winnipeg Goldeyes fan and a lifelong member of Birds Hill United Church where she had many friends. Health issues forced her to leave her home in 2009 and move into nursing care and has spent the last four years at Kildonan Personal Care Home.
Elsie was predeceased by her parents, John and Anna, brothers Albert, Kenneth and Eric, and Sister-in-law Vera. She is survived by niece Cathy Walker and nephews Rick and Jim Nilsson and Randy Marriott and their families.
Memorial service will take place on December 31, 2014 at Birds Hill United Church, 2105 Burton Avenue at 11:00 a.m.
