Elsie B. Winchell of Windsor, 97, passed away on Thursday, August 15, 2013, at Wilson Memorial Hospital surrounded by her loving family.
Elsie was born on December 8, 1915 to the late Ashton and Ellen (Cable) Meeker.
She was also predeceased by her husband of 62 years Claude Winchell, December 21, 1997; son, Carl and his wife Geraldine; a brother, Merritt and a sister, Lois.
The loving family that survives her are son, Alan and his wife, Alison; grandchildren Lawrence, Judy, Susan, Jeffrey, Kathi and Steven; also great grandchildren Aaron, Brandy, Dylan, Nicholas, Matthew, Megan and Paige.
While raising her two sons, Alan and Carl, Elsie became a partner in a beauty shop in Binghamton. During this time she was asked to serve on the NY State Commission to set minimum wage standards for beauticians.

She was then recommended for a position at BOCES where she taught for another 19 years (1961-1980). Elsie was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, teacher and friend to all who knew her; she will be dearly missed.
