Elsie, better known to many as “Mamie” and “Ses,” was a lady with class, pride and the style of a “queen.” She was loved and admired for her wisdom, sweet personality, and her gentle sweet smile she gave to everyone she met in her life. In the eyes of her family she was known as “The Queen.” Elsie enjoyed sewing, cooking, and loved to dance. She will be sadly missed by all who knew and loved her.
