Loving Wife, Mother, Grandmother, Great Grandmother.
Elsbeth left us on August 28, 2024, at 7:56 PM. The rain stopped, the clouds broke, the sun set, and she went home to be with our Father, Edward, who had transitioned to the Lord 22 years prior. Though we grieve, she is with Daddy, who was her lifetime and only true love.
She was born in Buffalo, New York. At 24, she moved to Bradenton, Florida in 1957 to start a new life with Edward, her husband, and her 5-year-old daughter Pamela. Over the years came Edward III, Sandra, and Peter. Her greatest accomplishments and joy were her four children.
In 1975, as all of us got older, she took a part time job at Winn-Dixie. That temporary job ended up spanning over 40 years. It's amazing that in this tenure, she created a second family, and everybody called her "MOM".
She truly cared for and guided all of us youngsters with advice and a sharp comeback when we were not toting the line.
She is preceded in passing by her loving husband Edward. She is survived by her four children, Pamela, Edward Ill, Sandra, and Peter. Four grandchildren, Michael, Christopher, Meghann, and Matthew. Two Great grandchildren, Madeline and Nicholas.
Those that knew her, loved her, and have their own special place in their heart where she will live on eternally in their memory. And when you do think of her, you can't help but smile, because she made this world a better place.
Brown & Sons Funeral Homes & Crematory 26th Street Chapel, 5624 26th Street West, Bradenton, FL 34207, is in charge of arrangements.
