Elsie was a treasure and a very loving, woman of God who will always be adored by her family and friends. She was absolutely beautiful with a beautiful heart to match. She was always an extraordinary wife, mother and grandmother. She enjoyed a long and wonderful life and we will always have so many wonderful memories of her. She had a special bond with her grandchildren, Megan and Gage. She loved being a "MaMaw" and celebrated every day with them. Elsie attended Special Olympics and school dances with Megan. She also attended sports events and Grandparent's Day at school with Gage. They brought her so much joy, Elsie was an inspiration and she was adored by everyone that met her. There just aren't enough words to describe her kind spirit. She was a member of Springdale Baptist Church for 33 years.

Elsie will be deeply missed by her family and friends. We love her so much and we look forward to the day when we see her again in Heaven.
