She was an advocate and champion for those with cancer. Our Dogwood Cancer Care Support group came to lover her and her family.

Elyse fought a brave battle since 2017. She shared her Stage 4 Metastatic journey and gave “cancer survivor and thriver” a face and name. She went home to God 10/2025 and left behind two boys, husband and a family that loved her. This was a cause close to her heart and her wish to have memorials go to Memories for Kids.

She was a bright ray of sunshine to her family, friends and the world and loved by many.

This organization was important to her and her family.

Derrith was a dear friend and we always remember her.
