Passed away in Ladysmith, BC on September 6, 2004. Born in Winnipeg, Manitoba October 12, 1923. Beloved wife of Bert and sister of Bill. Elise and Bert came to Vancouver Island from Vancouver, first arriving in Ladysmith. They both liked it very much, but decided before settling here, they would travel the whole Island from Victoria to Port Hardy in their VW Van before deciding on a permanent place to live. Alas, Ladysmith was to be their new home, their choice being based on it's location and it's very friendly people, who so warmly welcomed them. Elise enjoyed her choice to the very end and Bert still loves it here.
