She and Fred chose to settle in Dumas in 1957. Elsie was first a homemaker but also worked alongside Fred in their irrigation business. After retirement, their passion was growing outstanding vegetables and being involved in the local Farmer’s Market.
Elsie graduated from WTAMU, with a BA degree in English Education.
A great passion of Elsie’s was being an Adult Educational Instructor, specifically with ESL and GED preparation classes.
In her own words, Elsie once wrote, “I realized as a teenager that God was stirring and tugging at my heart prior to the moment I received Christ. The joy and peace that I felt when I received Christ is almost indescribable. Perhaps these feelings are just a glimpse of what heaven must be like.” Her family takes such comfort in these words, knowing she now knows.
All who knew and loved Elsie speak of how kind she was and what a sweet and peaceful spirit she had.
The family wishes to thank you for your support and prayers during this time.
