Although she never married, her nephews and nieces fondly recall that their Auntie Elsie ?loved us as though we were her own children, showering us with love and support, birthday cards, gifts and ?goodies,? her word for the sweets she loved.? Her heart extended to countless other children of friends, neighbors and rabbis.
