Being the longest living resident of 23 years at Elderberry Healthcare, she was known and loved by many. She never forgot a name or face. She loved everyone. She was the matriarch of her family, the rock of Elderberry and now one of God’s angels. She loved her family beyond words, her flowers in her room, singing, playing bingo for prizes, arts and crafts time. She attended church at Elderberry and never lost her faith.
The family wishes to thank everyone at Elderberry for taking care of and loving Pansy for so many years. Flowers are welcome and appreciated.
