Calvin and Elsie were both dedicated Jehovah's witnesses, serving Jehovah God by joining the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses in 1955. She enjoyed her life and was looking forward to living in a paradise earth after the resurrection.

Elsie enjoyed being a wife and mother and constantly doted on her children and grandchildren. She loved all things family. Elsie and Calvin traveled extensively throughout their life visiting places like, Paris, Bermuda, Egypt, Hawaii, Canada, Mexico and numerous trips within the US.

In the early 60's, Calvin and Elsie joined Shannondale Country Club in Harpers Ferry, WV. They built a beautiful A-frame cottage where we as a family spent most weekends enjoying the amenities it offered.
