Elsie Mae McQuerry

After her retiring from Congdon Orchards she kept herself busy with knitting, quilting, crocheting, puzzles, and gardening. An amazing cook, she made almost every Sunday feel like Thanksgiving. On her down time she was an avid reader.

Elsie is survived by her eight children Sam McQuerry, Ron (Frances) McQuerry, Donna Arquette, Connie Knight, Cathy McQuerry, Richard McQuerry, Barbara (Clint) Richard, and Rebecca McQuerry, fifteen grandchildren, and eighteen great-grandchildren, six great great-children, and many nieces and nephews, and her sister-in-law Mildred. She was preceded in death by her husband Richard McQuerry, her two sons John and Will, her parents, and a brother and sister and by a daughter-in-law, Elaine McQuerry.

The family would like to thank North Star Lodge and Memorial Hospice for their excellent and compassionate care of Elsie. In lieu of flowers the family asks if you would like that donations be made to North Star Lodge, Memorial Hospice or a charity of your choice.
