ELSIE DOUGLAS JUSTICE

Funeral services for Mrs. Elsie Douglas Justice, 73, of Monroe, Louisiana, will 
be held at 2:00 p.m., Monday, December 7, 2015 at North Monroe Baptist Church, 
with Dr. Bill Dye, Rev. Warren Eckhardt and Rev. Marshall Douglas, officiating. 
Interment will follow at Mulhearn Memorial Park Cemetery, Monroe, Louisiana. 
Visitation will be held Sunday, December 6, 2015 from 5:00-8:00 p.m. in the

Elsie was born in Holly Ridge, Louisiana on January 30, 1942 and passed away at 
her home on December 4, 2015. She graduated from Ouachita Parish High School 
where she made many life-long friendships she and Ed still enjoy today. After 
graduation, Elsie began working at Merrill Lynch and through her career of 41 
years, she also cultivated many friendships that she still treasured. In 1988, 
she married the love of her life, Ed Justice, and they enjoyed 27 years of 
working, traveling and entertaining together. Ed's devoted care during Elsie's 
illness brought her great comfort and certainly enhanced the last months of her 
life. They enjoyed many extended friendships through work, their beloved Sunday 
School class and the "Douglas" brothers and sisters. Through all of her 
personal and professional accomplishments, however, Elsie's greatest pride and 
joy were her children and grandchildren. "Grammy" relished her role as a loving 
wife, mother and grandmother, and always had an encouraging word, listening ear 
and open door. Holidays and birthdays were tradition at Grammy's house, and her 
family will greatly miss her infectious smile and laugh, her tight hugs, the 
wonderful smells from her kitchen and her world famous dumplings.

Elsie was preceded in death by her parents, James and Mellie Douglas; her 
grandson, Samuel Thomas Foust; her siblings, Earl Douglas and Helen Landby and 
her close friend and brother-in-law, Gerald McLaughlin.

Survivors include her husband Ed (Popeye) Justice; her children Sherry Vidrine, 
Scott Foust and his wife, Cindy; her grandchildren, Austin and Laura Vidrine 
and Robert Scott and Angel Grace Foust. She is also survived by her siblings 
and their spouses, Jerry Calloway (Ray), Betty Crawford (Ken), George Douglas 
(Pat), Marshall Douglas (Louise), Donna McLaughlin, Yvonne Douglas and John 
Landby and many loving nieces, nephews and friends as well as her children's 
father, Walter Foust. He and his wife, Wanda, were close friends whose love and 
support were cherished by both Elsie and Ed.

Pallbearers will be her grandsons, Austin Vidrine and Robert Scott Foust; and 
family friends, John Mark Wilhite, Johnnye Ford, Jerry Thomas, Mike Smith, Glen 
McAdams and Mickey Fontana. Honorary pallbearers will be Larry McDonald 
Herschel Ryan, Randy Kirby, Terry Barnhill, the Sonny Standifer Sunday School 
class and posthumously, Roy Bledsoe.

A very special thanks to Sissy Cook, Jean Matthews, Nancy Smith, Beverly 
Sawyer, DeeDee Cook and Susan Lolley for the loving care they provided to our 
beloved "Grammy."

Memorials may be made to the building fund at North Monroe Baptist Church, St. 
Jude's or the Louisiana Baptist Children's Home.
