St. George, Utah - Elsa Hunt Addis Davidson passed away November 29, 2010 in Seattle, Washington. She suffered a massive stroke as she was finishing her dream trip to see her new grandson, and have an early Thanksgiving with her family.
Elsa was born October 12, 1931, to Ray Von and Augusta Wilcox Hunt in Clifton, Idaho. In 1934, the family moved to the Beryl Desert, where she grew up with her 12 brothers and sisters. She attended schools on the Desert, in Cedar City and in Enterprise. She graduated from Enterprise High School in 1949.
After graduation, she and a girlfriend moved to Los Angeles, CA, where she worked as a telephone operator. She had a lovely voice that was popular in those days when operators had voices. While in Los Angeles, she married John Ardelyan, and after they divorced she and their daughter, Kathleen, moved back home.
Elsa married Bruce Addis and they made their home in Las Vegas, NV. Bruce and Elsa had four children: Melina, Lincoln, Lacy and Cole, and she was a busy, loving homemaker and mother. After Elsa and Bruce divorced, she married Donald Davidson.
After Elsa and Donald divorced, she and Kathy moved back home to St. George in 2005 to be close to her daughter, Lacy and husband, Dave, who were lovingly dedicated to making her life happy and comfortable. All her children and grandchildren were caring and supportive in every way, as was her former husband, Bruce.
Being in St. George also put her close to her three sisters with whom she spent many happy hours going to lunch, playing games, and taking outings to such places as Fredonia, Barkley, Blanding and Hawaii.
Through the years Elsa took many cruises, and traveled to exotic places, but Hawaii was her favorite and she once spent a pleasant month there with her brother, Richard, and his wife, Joy.
Elsa had many talents. She had a lovely singing voice, was a great cook, had a knack for drawing, and had an amazing musical ability. She played by ear, and after hearing a melody once, could sit down at the organ or piano and play it perfectly. When she was young her mother arranged for her to take piano lessons, but discontinued them when she discovered that rather than learning the notes, Elsa merely repeated what the teacher had played. Her music was a joy to herself, and to others.
Elsa was a gentle, kind, accepting friend to everyone who was lucky enough to know her.
Elsa is survived by her children: Melina (Steve) Nicolatus, of Park City, Lincoln Ray (Diane) Addis, of Ottumwa, IA, Lacy (Dave) Neill, of Veyo, and Cole Bruce (Tamara) Addis, of Birch Bay, WA; grandchildren: Branson Addis (Megan) Barr, Elysia Barr, Broc (Janelle) Addis, Colton Addis, Brynn Addis, Tess Neill, and Quinn Ethan Addis; great-grandchild, Clive Robert Addis; brothers: Stanley (Joyce) Hunt, of Magna, Russell Hunt, of Mesa, AZ, Clyde (Delora) Hunt, of New Harmony, Dale Hunt, of Hurricane, and Allen (Leonie) Hunt, of Blanding; and sisters: Mary Ann (Sidney) Atkin, of St. George, Lucile Proctor, of Panguitch, and Evaline (Marvin) Bracken, of Beryl.
Elsa was preceded in death by her daughter, Kathleen Ardelyan; and brothers: Tommy Hunt, David Hunt, Richard Hunt and Clinton Hunt.
Funeral services will be held Saturday, December 4, 2010 at 2:00 p.m. at the Metcalf Mortuary Chapel, 288 West St. George Blvd., St. George, Utah. A visitation will be held Saturday from 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the Mortuary, prior to services.
