Obituary for Elsie Eileen Cole
It is with great sadness that the family of Elsie Eileen Cole, 104, of East LaHave, announces her passing on Easter Sunday, April 1, 2018 at Fishermen’s Memorial Hospital, Lunenburg.
Born in Goldboro, Guysborough County, she was the daughter of the late Capt. James and Ella (Davidson) Schmeisser.

Elsie enjoyed the simple pleasures of life, spending time at home with family and friends who were so important to her. She enjoyed knitting and was always the happiest digging in the ground. She will be greatly missed by all those who knew and loved her.
