Elsie Ross Beerbower Corlett

Elsie Ross Beerbower Corlett, 95, passed away on April 10th, 2017. Elsie was born on November 4, 1921 in Uniontown PA, and lived for many happy years in Lemoyne PA, surrounded by the chaos of her seven children, and many grandchildren, great grandchildren, nieces and nephews. Elsie, a long-time member of Trinity Lutheran Church in Camp Hill, demonstrated a deep and abiding faith, quietly serving as a living example of her favorite hymn, “They Will Know We are Christians by our Love.” Her legacy of service to others, forgiveness, faith, hope, and love will echo through the lives of her family, faith community and the many loving caregivers who became part of her extended family at Masonic Village in Elizabethtown. For more than a decade, Elsie was a resident at Masonic Village, attending Sell Chapel.

Elsie is survived by her children; Dr. Carol Howard, Nancy Kulckycki, William Corlett, David Corlett, Judith King, and Robert Corlett; and son-in-law Mike Higgs. Predeceasing Elsie were her husband of 63 years, William S. Corlett, and daughter Mary Louise Higgs.
