She lived there for 30 years, before moving to Las Vegas where she lived for 14 years and eventually returned to Sanford-Springvale in 1996.After all-nighters at the Vegas casinos, a fun social life with friends across the country and trips to Cuba, Elsie slowed down in her beloved Springvale apartment and spent her time shopping, playing cards, going out to eat on Sundays and baking her world-famous cookies. Strong, independent and not afraid to speak up, Elsie was very generous and had a warm heart. She also had the best attitude about life with her notorious saying, "You do the best you can!" She credited her longevity to that outlook, telling people she was 39 years old and enjoying maple walnut ice cream with every meal.Surviving are many nieces and nephews that Elsie loved as her own children and other relatives and friends who will all miss Elsie's love, companionship and amusing stories.Elsie was predeceased by husband Lloyd Green, and husband, Dale Case.
