Sissy , Roberta and Bobby, Please accept my sincere condolences. Your mom was a great lady. I can remember as a kid when she would be calling Bobby to get his rear end home for dinner every evening like clockwork. But she wasn’t saying rear end. Just saying. lol. Please forgive me for not being able to attend. RIP Elsie Mae

A hard worker who dedicated so much of her life to others. She loved working at the NBVFD yard sales and socializing. She will be missed!
