To the King family , I was so sad to hear about Elsie. She was a beautiful person and a wonderful friend for a long time. I will truly miss her. Hugs and prayers to all of you. from Paulette and family.
Deepest sympathy to the family, remember her well from years ago when she played cards with my mom, Rita Rose and long time friend Joan Evans. She was such a fun loving woman. I would think heaven has a grand card game on right now with the 3 of them..
I remember Elsie as my first babysitting at evening job.The picture must be from around that time ,1968,as I was about 13 ,14. sincere condolences .
