So sorry to hear this sad news. Such a beautiful soul. Elsie was a very loving person. Always had a smile for everyone. God has certainly gained an angel.
Less, Mike, and family,
I loved taking care of Elsie. She was a wonderful woman who was very smart and lively and would just smile. I’ve known her for 13 years and have taken care of her all that time on and off when I was on her hallway lol. But 13 years I got to know her and her love for family. Elsie you will be missed and never forgotten. Love and miss you pretty lady.
I am so sorry for your Loss. Elsie was a good woman and faithful. May the good Lord comfort you as only he can.
Les and family I am sorry for your loss. I have many fond memories from the past at your house. Your mom was always so kind.
So sorry for your loss Les and family. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Rest in peace sweet lady. We attended the same church and also visited the bike shop to rent the bicycle built for two.
I feel doubly blessed to have been a niece of Lloyd and Elsie; Lloyd and my father were brothers. Both Lloyd and Elsie were wonderful role models. As I aged, Elsie unknowingly became somewhat of a mentor for me. Her kindness, patience and contentment are something I aspire to achieve. My sympathy to all who will miss this dear lady, especially Les and his family. Love, Pauline Szelagowski
I met Elsie when I worked briefly at Villa Pines doing hair. She was one resident who I never wanted our time together to end. I miss her. I am happy that she had a long wonderful life!
I am so sorry for your loss. Our deepest sympathy to you Leslie and (Patricia) Landon. Sending 🙏 for your comfort
Elsie was a special lady. She & Lloyd had a vital impact on the community.
I remember the couple dating, Elsie’s home where Pavelec Realty is now, Lloyd living at the south end of Main Street where Roseberry’s is today. They had a long life together. My sympathy to the family. May God bless your memories.
What a wonderful lady. She was always so positive!! My sympathy to you all
So many wonderful memories. The day Helge and I got married, 27 years ago, Elsie played the piano and as the music ended from our procession, she stated playing “ON WISCONSIN”. The Badgers went on to win the Rose Bowl. Fond memories of a Wonderful women. Prayers for great memories for all family. Jill and Helge
