With heavy hearts and painful sorrow, it is with great sadness we announce the passing of our dearly beloved sister, aunt, and friend, Elsie, on November 4, at the New Waterford Consolidated Hospital. 

Elsie was born on October 12,1944, in Channel, NL.  She was predeceased by her parents, Thomas and Susanna (Strickland) Anderson; her two brothers, George and Sam; her sister, Nellie Francis; her husband, Russell Watts and families.

She will be deeply missed and forever loved by her sisters, Dulcie, Kenora, ON, Grace (Roland) Hancock, Corner Brook, NL, Lydia (George) Gale, Grand Bay, NL, and her many nieces and nephews.  Also left to mourn is Jim Baldwin (Partner) and his family, Neil (Noelle), Jenny (Paul), Glen (Judy); three grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

Elsie was employed as a waitress for many years. She was employed at Breton Education Centre as a Custodian Supervisor and also employed at the New Waterford and District Community Centre. 

The family would like to thank the nurses on the second floor and the New Waterford Hospital for the kindness shown to Elsie during her stay at the hospital.

As you retire amongst the angels, we can still feel your warmth around us. We are saddened with the emptiness in our hearts, but with our precious memories of you, you will live in our hearts forever.
