After her marriage to Johnnie Morgan, they lived in Kansas and Oklahoma for many years before coming back to Missouri where they lived near Birch Tree for several years. They moved to the Mansfield/Macomb area in the early 1980’s and she has resided here since.
Elsie had made her profession of faith in Christ and was of the Baptist faith.
In her spare time she enjoyed growing vegetables and flowers. She loved her dogs and feeding the birds and enjoyed watching nature.
But the most important thing in her life was her family. She especially thought her grandchildren were very precious and enjoyed being with them as often as she could.
Elsie was a loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister and aunt and a caring neighbor and friend. We celebrate her life and will always cherish the many wonderful memories.
