Elsie Louise Freudenstein
Elsie Louise Freudenstein, 76, passed away on Wednesday, December 10, 2014 in her Matthews, North Carolina, home. Surrounded over the past few months by those to whom she devoted her life, Elsie went home to be with the Lord peacefully.
Born September 5, 1938, to James Edward and Ethel Mae Brooks, Elsie was the youngest of seven children. She was preceded in death by her parents and six siblings. This amazing mother is survived by her three children Cyndi Coupland (David), Greg Allen (Michelle) and Kim Dicen (Matt). Delighted to be a grandmother, Elsie spent the last fifteen years of her life spoiling, kissing, and hugging her four grandchildren Jack, Nicholas, Mary Beth and Rammy. A superior cook, comedian, friend, mother and grandmother, Elsie left all who knew her a little better off than before they met her.
A celebration of Elsie’s life will be held Saturday, December 27 at the Fellowship Hall of Tyson United Methodist Church in Versailles, from 1–4 p.m. Please join family and friends for light refreshments and many memories and laughs.
