Elsie lived a full life. She raised five children while partnering with Gordon in their business ventures.

Elsie opened her heart and home to friends and strangers.
She will be remembered and missed, especially by her constant companion, Max, her dog, who was with her in the end.

Gordon Heading; children, Sharon (Bill MacKinnon), Patricia (Paul Kendall),Wanda (Peter Blom), Jim (Liz) and Graham (Darlene); grandchildren, Stephanie, Jamie, Adam, Geoffrey, Tanya, Tiffany, Jim, Josh and Jacquelyn; great-grandchildren, Jamie, Madelyn, Hunter and Isabelle; and siblings, John, Colin, Hilda, Henry, Diane and Theresa.

Special thanks to Dr. Worth for his kindness and also to the palliative care unit at the Cape Breton Regional Hospital for their care and compassion during her final days.
