She loved to play cards, bingo and the slots. She loved and was devoted to her family and friends. She was devoted to her church- St. Albans was her second home from the time she moved to Capreol. The family would like to thank ST. Joseph’s Villa for all their care and compassion during Elsie’s stay there.
