She is survived by her husband, Jack, and their children John, Lynn, and Paul, and their families. Elsa Jane was baptized, confirmed, and married at St. Mark s. She was an active member for many years serving on various committees, the congregation council, as a member of the choir, Sunday school, and the St. Cecilia Society. A memorial service will be held at St. Mark s on a date to be decided. May her soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen. Thank you! As we meet later this month to elect new members to the Congregation Council, it is appropriate to take a moment to thank all those who so generously volunteer their time to serve on the Council both those present, those leaving council after this term, and those who are willing to stand for election. Thanks, too, to those Committee persons who help in seeing to the ministry of the church.
