Elsie was born in Charlottenberg, Germany and arrived in Canada at the age of seven. She grew up in Beausejour, MB where she met her husband Herman and later moved to Winnipeg. Elsie was a very hard worker whether it was on the farm, at work or at home. Her true passions were working in her vegetable and flower gardens, knitting and creating beautiful crochet pieces and spending time with her three great-grandchildren. Her kitchen was always open for family and friends. It is here that she enjoyed many special moments. We would like to express our sincere thanks to the staff at Misericordia Health Centre - Cornish Ward, who helped make Mom's last days as comfortable and dignified as possible. Thank you to all our relatives and friends for your support, encouragement and visits. The funeral service will be held on Saturday, August 19 at 11:00 a.m. in the St. Paul Lutheran Church, Green Bay, MB with Pastor Hugh Laidlaw officiating. Interment will follow in the church cemetery. Pallbearers will be Dwayne, Howard, Harry, John, Ron and Herb.
