Elsie's Family, I worked with Elsie at Pearce many years ago. She was always smiling and more than helpful to me. We had many good laughs. It was a privilege to know her. Sincerely, Lynn Pence

I am sorry for your loss. I enjoyed working with Elsie while she was librarian at Mossville. She was wonderful with the students and always helpful to the teachers. In addition, she was a warm and friendly person. I enjoyed the photos of her smiling face over the years with her loving family, the most important thing in her life. May your good memories of happy days with her comfort you.
