ELSIE DOERKSEN (Nee KOZAK) With deep sorrow the family announces the passing of Elsie Doerksen, peacefully on August 18th, 2000 at Grace Hospital at the age of 65 years. Elsie was predeceased by her father Nick in 1981 and her husband Dick in January, 2000. She will be sadly missed by her mother Alice Kozak; children Terry (Susan), Jeff, Bonnie (Ron) and Birdie; grandchildren, Tamara, Kristina, Jess, Travis, Dylan, Eckoe and Dacota; three sisters Margie (David), Evelyn (Kris) and Delores; and many in-laws, nieces, nephews and dear friends. Elsie was not only a loving daughter, mother, grandmother and sister, but a best friend and will be deeply missed by all that knew her. She dedicated her live lovingly to her family and never asked for anything in return. She enjoyed working with her Avon(which she sold for over 25 years) and took great joy in planting and helping her plants grow and flourish. She treasured time spent with her family, children, grandchildren and friends. The family wish to sincerely thank the ICU staff at Grace General Hospital for their special care and attention and to Margaret and Tita for their compassion and loving ways. Funeral Service will be held on Tuesday, August 22, at 3:00 p.m. at Cropo Funeral Chapel, 1442 Main St. Graveside Service will be held on Thursday, August 24, at Noon, at Menisino Cemetery, Menisino, Man. for those who wish to attend. God saw her getting tired and a cure was not to be, so he put his arms around her and whispered Come with me. With tearful eyes we watched her suffer and saw her fade ways, although we loved her dearly, we could not make her stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands to rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, he only takes the best. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Elsies memory to the Canadian Cancer Society, 193 Sherbrook St. Wpg R3C 9Z9. No yellow flowers, please Cropo Funeral Chapel in care of arrangements, 586-8044
