Elsie was born in Pueblo, Colo. on Dec. 12, 1920.
Elsie was raised in Pueblo and graduated from Central High School in 1938. She was a proud Wildcat and loved it when the bell rang blue. Elsie owned and operated Patti's restaurant with her husband, Angelo. She was a member of Shrine of St. Therese.
She enjoyed baking cookies, decorating cakes and making the best homemade noodle soup (that has never been duplicated) for friends and family.
She loved to play canasta with her girlfriends and Uno with her grandkids. Elsie enjoyed traveling with Angelo on many trips through the Ports of Call organization. Elsie enjoyed playing her weekly lotto and cash five numbers and would rarely turn down a trip to Vegas.
Elsie was a loving daughter, sister, wife, mother and most of all grandmother. She was selfless with her time and would always help her family in any way she could. She will be dearly missed.
The family would like to thank the staff at the Life Care Center of Pueblo for their 'tender, loving care' and attention given to Elsie.

Dear Patti Family,
It has been a great privilege to have had Elsie (and Ange) as our neighbors since 1961. They were always aware of our needs and gave guidance. They showed their Love for our daughters; one Easter they brought the girls paddles with the ball on a rubber string – the girls were so excited and loved playing with them. Elsie was so kind to look after our alarm when it went off and we were not home. They encouraged us to take good care of our lawn and maintain the aesthetics of the neighborhood. They did so much for our neighbor Mrs. Nelson; they took her many meals during her last years. She loved this because she got to visit with them. I will never forget the wonderful cakes Elsie baked and decorated and brought over to us. They were beautiful and tasted scrumptious. There are many more things they did for us throughout all the years that exemplified their kindness and interest in their neighbors. We will never forget Elsie and Ange as our exceptional neighbors all these years. May God bless you during this time of your loss of Elsie. The Lord has acquired a wonderful addition. Love you all.
