Elsie Josephine GAWRY (nee Daschner), age 90. Passed away peacefully at home on May 20, 2022 surrounded by her children. Elsie was predeceased by her loving husband, Edward F. Gawry Jr., and dear brother, Joseph Daschner. She was the loving mother of Mark Gawry, Martin Gawry (Jon) and Ann Marie Krahe (Chris), and beloved grandmother of Edward, Veronika, and Allison Krahe.
Elsie was a homegrown Clevelander, taking great pride in her city. She proudly wore her Red Coat as a volunteer usher at Playhouse Square which fed her passion for live theater. She was an avid reader and a lover of libraries. She enjoyed travel and encouraged her children to do the same. Elsie was a generous soul, always willing to lend a helping hand, a hearty meal, or a warm bed to those in need.
