She also worked at the Richmond West Clinic and with the Sheps Hair Transplant Centre. Elsie enjoyed life and was a caregiver to friends and patients. She always put the needs of others ahead of herself. Elsie was also known as a very hard worker, and so no matter what task was at hand, she did her very best.
