Elise Marie Josephine, daughter of Jeanne and Benoit Gisiger, was born July 4, 1923 in St. Labre, MB. She lived in St. Labre, MB until the age of 18 and then left to live in St. Boniface, MB. She worked in the laundry department of the St. Boniface Hospital for several years. During that time she met the love of her life, Alexis, and they were married June 2, 1951. Mom and Dad lived in St. Boniface where their six children were born. They moved to St. Vital for ten years and then moved to Grande Pointe where they really enjoyed the country life. When Dad passed away, after 38 years of marriage, Mom moved back to Winnipeg.
Mom was really devoted to her family and was the most loving parent and grandmother. She was very committed to her faith in Christ and to her church.
Mom was a very kind and generous woman to anyone she met. We will all miss her warm, welcoming smile.
