She moved to Washington and graduated from Highland High in 1957 and married Bob Higginbotham the same year. Elsie worked 30+ years in their orchard in Tieton and as a sorter for Strand’s Warehouse. She loved and raised 2 daughters, Pam Clark and Terrie Walters, as well as 4 grandchildren: Natalie Clark, Joe Clark, Hannah Biesemeyer and Sam Clark.
She was always so supportive and proud of her grandchildren. Elsie loved her brothers and sisters, which she is one of 9, and loved family parties and barbecues. She attended Tieton Baptist Church with her sister Odessa Taylor for many years. Elsie loved watching sports especially LSU, Saints, Mariners and Seahawks. Elsie was a long-time supporter of the Highland Scotties and could often be seen sitting in the same section of bleachers year after year. Elsie loved to tease and had a great sense of humor. She was a hard worker and patient woman who inspired her daughters to look up to her and aspire to emulate her beliefs.
She was preceded in death by her husband Bob Higginbotham this past year. They would have been married 62 years this summer.
The family would like to thank the staff at Highgate Senior Living and Memorial Hospice for their care of Elsie.
