Lit a candle in memory of Elsie Turner Stussie
Barbara, so sorry to read about the loss of your mother. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers. All my love to you and your family. Jane Pate
I met Elsie while working in the Rocky Mount school system. She was a classy lady and we shared many fun times with elegant luncheonsteas and crafty get-togethers. What a creative lady she was! He home was so warm and welcoming and filled with family memories. I still have some of the tree decorations we made. I relocated to Florida in 1983 but still kept in touch with Elsie. We exchanged Christmas cards for years and was saddened when a few years ago, the card that I received said she was not doing well. I still sent cards but soon lost touch. Please know that every memory I have of Elsie is special. I loved spending time with her and learning from her. She was a wealth of knowledge. Please accept my condolences in this difficult time. It is never easy to lose a loved one.
