She then moved to Louisiana, his hometown where they lived for many years before moving to Oregon. Elsie and her husband bought their home in Corbett where they raised their children and many grandchildren over the years. Between working as a CMA at a nursing home, working on the farm, and planting many flowers and plants, which was a love of hers. She still always would make time for friends and family, greeting you with a smile, a laugh, and at the kitchen table there was always room for someone in need of a meal, a shoulder to cry on, or just her, to listen and give some advice. She will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her!
