July 6, 1926 – July 7, 2022
It is with great sadness that we share the news of Elsie’s passing.
She was the daughter of William and Ruby Hilton.
Elsie was predeceased by her loving husband Colin Mooney. She leaves behind her children, Marsha-Lea (Ivan), Dayleen (Gary), Charla (Bubs), and James (Wanda). Elsie was predeceased by her siblings – Colleen, Luvera, William, and Robert. Elsie will be missed by her 10 grandchildren, 23 great grandchildren, and 4 great great grandchildren.
Elsie was born in Cutknife, Saskatchewan and also lived in Unity, Saskatchewan and Guelph, Ontario before coming West, first to Revelstoke, B.C. and then eventually settling in Cherryville, B.C.
Elsie lived a life of volunteerism. Whether with her church, as a piano teacher, choir director, or at Cherryville Elementary or Charles Bloom Secondary, Elsie was generous with her time and talents.
Elsie will probably be most well remembered for her piano lessons to the community of Cherryville. A woman who was always loved and respected by those around her, she will be missed greatly by those who were blessed to have known her.
The family would like to give thanks to Dr. Barss and the staff at Monashee Mews for their excellent care.
A Celebration of Life will take place at the Cherryville Community Hall on Friday August 26th at 1:00 pm.
