Red and Elise started Rancho Las Uvas where they ran a summer camp for boys. Vacationing on a working cattle ranch enriched their lives. Elise was very active with family and friends. She enjoyed playing bridge, going to Tahoe and the horse races with the Morgan Hill Seniors. She was a member of the Lowell Alumni, Morgan Hill Historical Society and Women in Touch.
She will always be remembered for her positive attitude and wisdom. Her favorite saying was, “By the inch it is a cinch, by the yard it is hard.”
She is survived by her daughter and son-in-law Nardi and Dick Christensen of Coalinga; son and daughter-in-law Mike and Nancy Dunn of Morgan Hill; six grandchildren; 10 great-grandchildren; and many dear friends.
