Simpson: (Elsie Bales )
Elsie passed away in hospital in Hinton Alberta on March 07, 2015.
She was born February 25, 1931 in Neepawa Manitoba, the only daughter of Alf and Edna Warburton, the first of 5 children. Elsie was raised in the Helston area and got her education in Helston and Edrans
In 1949 Elsie married Stanley Bales and they had 4 children. Elaine Penner (Ron), George Bales (Pat), Stan Bales (Gemma), Ron Bales (Gail) Elsie and Stanley farmed in the Helston community until the family moved to Neepawa and Brandon in the mid 60’s.
Elsie moved to Hinton Alberta in 1987 to be near her children. She loved her life in the mountains and never tired of looking out her window watching the scenery. She made many friends and could often be found sharing a cup of tea with whoever dropped by.
Elsie was very proud of her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren and enjoyed every minute she spent with them. Her cats were also her babies and she cared for them until the end.
You never asked for favors
Yet did them every day,
You never asked for any help
Yet you gave so much away,
You never asked for gratitude
And yet our whole life through
We’ll be forever grateful
For your precious Love and you
Love, Your families
In keeping with Elsie’s wishes, cremation has taken place and the family will have a time of sharing memories at a later date.
