Elsie Mae Bennard

Elsie Mae Bennard (Orr), 81 of Massillon, OH went to be with her Lord and Savior on March 28,2020. She was born in Shirley, WV to Lester Franklin 'Bud' and Frances Pauline 'Muz' Orr (Curtis).  A proud 1957 graduate of Jackson H.S., Elsie married the late Myron Keith Bennard on May 28,1960 in Canal Fulton, OH giving birth to 3 children; Angel Renee Morris (Kenny), Brian Keith Bennard and Lu Ann Duff (Bill). 

She is survived by 6 grandchildren:  Kyle J., Cameron W., and Connor B. Mohr and Shiree D., Bradley A., and Bryan A. Bennard.  Great grandchildren Paightyn D. and Bradley Ann.
Elsie always had fun, even while working:  Youngs Grocer, hanging wallpaper for B&E Wallpaper with sister Beverly ("You pick it, we stick it"), Electra Cord Inc., and Heinz Co. where she finally retired at the age of 65.

Elsie loved her Class of 57', meeting with them frequently every year.  She is a member of Anchor Baptist Church and a long-time member of the Massillon Rec Center where she enjoyed walking the lazy river with the "water girls".

We will wait for better times and beautiful weather to celebrate the life of our Mom.  In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to missions at Anchor Baptist Church, 2700 Richville Dr. SE, Massillon, OH 44646. Special thanks to the staff and clientele at SarahCare of Belden for giving our Mom purpose, friendship, love and understanding.
