ELSIE DAVIDSON Elsie Mae Davidson (nee Moyle) passed away peacefully on October 29, 2016. She is survived by her husband Bill, daughters, Rhonda (George) and Gail (Dale), and grandchildren Jenna and Tanner. She is also survived by two sisters, Margaret Reid and Leona Kalinchuk, and several nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her parents, sisters Sylvia, Kathleen and Helen, and brothers Will and Don. Elsie was born on a farm near Graysville, Manitoba , the fourth of eight children of John and Hannah Moyle. She attended school in Graysville, and later trained as a Licensed Practical Nurse. She worked in various communities, including Carman, Morris, Winnipeg, Gladstone, and Oliver, BC. She married Bill Davidson in 1960, and lived in numerous Manitoba communities, following Bill's postings with the RCMR. In retirement, Elsie and Bill lived in Brandon, Paradise Village near Ste. Anne, and Winnipeg. Elsie's life was about home, family and friends. She was happy to endure the cold winter weather rather than travelling to warmer climates. She never learned how to complain. If she was having a bad day, no one knew. She loved gatherings of family and friends, and made sure everyone, including pets, went home satisfied. She was dearly loved by those close to her, and her loss will create a hole in many hearts. Cremation has taken place, with a private service and interment at a later date. The family would like to send our sincere thanks to the staff of the Vista Park Lodge for their excellent care, and the compassion shown to Elsie during her residency there. In memory of Elsie, donations may be made to a charity of one's choice. Doyle's Funeral Chapel in care of arrangements. www.doylesfuneralchapel.com

Condolences & Memories (1 entries)

I have fond memories of Uncle Bill and Aunt Elsie. She was such a dear soul, always the same, always laughing that wonderful laugh of hers. I came across an entry in Mom's autograph book from 1940 about three weeks ago and it was from "your cousin Elsie", dated January 21, 1941. It says, Dear Wilma, Leaves may wither, Flowers may die, Friends may forget you, But never shall I. I like to think that the cousins are reunited and laughing alot, in heaven now. So, to Uncle Bill, and my cousins, Rhonda and Gail, and families, my sincere condolence on Aunt Elsie's passing, but a smile covers my face as I write this just thinking of what a wonderful woman she was. Anyone who met her was indeed blessed. She will be missed. Shelly - Posted by: Shelly Friesen (Sandulak) (cousin ) on: Nov 03, 2016
