Elsie was born in Woden, IA and lived with her family in Meservy, IA. At age of 16 she moved to Minnesota to take care of her grandmother. She worked various jobs in which she was able to use her sewing and knitting skills. Elsie met and married Francis Forcier in 1946. They had 4 children, Diana, Norma, Paul and Gerald. She became a nursing assistant at Bethesda Hospital for 26 years until her retirement. After retirement Elsie returned to Meservy IA to take care of her mother, Ruth. They had many travels including winters in Texas. After Ruth died, she moved into Washington Square Apartments in White Bear Lake MN.
