Elsie POWERS Obituary

Published by Calgary Herald on Jul. 31, 2015.
POWERS, Elsie
November 18, 1923 - Hussar, Alberta
July 27, 2015 - Calgary, Alberta
We are saddened with the passing away of our mother, grandmother and GG who has gone to her heavenly home on July 27, 2015. Elsie was predeceased by her husband Fred Powers in 2009 and son Richard in 1977. She will be lovingly remembered by her son Oral (Marla) Powers, daughter Shirlee (Perry) Bank; her four grandchildren who were the light of her life: Jason (Kayla) Bank, Rochelle (Jean-Michel) Longval, Cheryl and Isabella Powers and great grandchildren Grace and Sebastian Bank. Strong and independent, Elsie put her faith in God to see her through life's tragedies and miracles. A woman of integrity, Elsie loved and ministered to her family, grandchildren, neighborhood children and friends. She enjoyed her final years at Wentworth Court, and her sense of humour lifted our spirits to the end. Memorial donations in Elsie's name may be made directly to The Salvation Army, 1731 - 29 Street SW, Calgary, AB T3C 1M6 (www.salvationarmycalgary.org). A Celebration of Elsie's life will be held on Tuesday, August 4, 2015 at 10:00 a.m. in the Chapel of Mountain View Funeral Home (1605 – 100 Street SE, Calgary). To express condolences, please visit:

We also met your Mom at Wentworth. She shared the table with my Mom, Kay--who called her the "boss" as she looked after everyone at the table to make sure they received the food and drink they wanted! My Mom really misses her laugh! Our deepest condolences. Pat & Doug Bowers
