Elsie Armimie Klier

Elsie Armimie (Norlin) Klier, age 92, of Greenville, Michigan, died on January 4, 2024. She was born on December 8, 1931, in Stalwart, Michigan, to Otto and Ethel (Izzard) Norlin. Elsie was very proud of her roots. Her fondest memories were of being on the farm, milking cows (she could name them all), swimming next to the pigs, and occasionally she would give them hugs. She always said she had wonderful parents. Elsie graduated from Pickford High School and went on to earn her LPN after graduation at Marquette University College of Nursing. She was very proud of her career as an LPN at War Memorial Hospital (WMH) where she worked for over 44 years. She ended her work life as a supervisor at Central Supply. Elsie was a member of the WMH Auxiliary, Immanuel Lutheran Church, Red Hats Society, and Tops. Elsie found joy canning from her garden, picking berries, and making jam to deliver to her neighbors down 10 Mile Rd. She loved being around the family, especially her grandkids and great grandkids. Her favorite thing to do would be to wade in the ditch in the spring. Elsie is survived by her daughter, Cheryl (Jerry) Kimble of Bremen, Alabama; son, Charles (Sue) Dorsey of Greenville; stepsons, Gordon (Diane) Klier of Sault Ste. Marie and Roger Klier of Bakersfield, California; stepdaughter, Lori (Mike) Hopper of Anderson, Indiana; grandchildren, Jim Dorsey, Missy (Mallory) Dorsey, Dorsi (John) Rybarczyk, Bethany Curtis, Martha (Mike) Evans, Sarah (Austin) Scott, Phillip Curtis; and many nieces and nephews who will all miss her dearly. Elsie was preceded in death by husband, James C. Dorsey; husband, Leonard E. Klier; daughter, Bonnie Jean Dorsey; parents, Otto and Ethel; brother, Fred (Marion) Norlin; sister, Kitty (Bob) Sims; stepsons, Marshall Klier and Phil (Linda) Klier.
