Elsie M Henderson

A Limb has fallen

from the Family Tree,

that says Grieve not for me.

Remember the Best times,

the Laughter, the Song,

the Good life I Lived

while I was Strong.

Elsie May Kohler Henderson (nee McKinney) of Langhorne, PA passed away Wednesday, April 5, 2023, at Oxford Rehabilitation & Healthcare Center with her family by her side.  She was 92. 

Born and raised in Philadelphia and later residing in Croydon for many years. She was a beautiful, strong, and kind woman. Anyone who knew Elsie would know how much she wanted to be on the go and loved being with family and friends old or new.  As a stay-at-home mom she loved caring for her children and so many others without regret.
