I have some great memories of my Aunty Elsie while visiting as a child. She encouraged my interest in art and crafts even way back then. Though I never saw her often as I grew up, she had a great presence within the family where we all knew where she was and what she was up to!
I know she will be sorely missed by all and especially by those closest to her, and my thoughts and prayers go out to you.
Much love, from her niece, Heather Watson
