Elsie (Sally) L. Shortreed, 80, of Watten Township, Ont., passed away at her residence on Tuesday, June 22, 2004.
Elsie was born Jan. 16, 1924 in La Vallee, Ont. to the late Frederick and Rosina Tummey. She was united in marriage on Feb. 15, 1941 to Arnold Shortreed.

She is survived by her sisters-in-law, Berna Shortreed of Fort Frances, Ont., and Ethel Cooke of Port Alberni, B.C.; and many nieces and nephews.
