Elsie was born on Sunday, March 28, 1943 in Pageland, SC. She was one of nine children born to the late Earl Franklin Jordan and Ethel Demby Jordan.

Elsie attended Kings College in Charlotte after graduating from Pageland High School in 1961, and on January 27, 1962, she was married to her husband, Virgil Price. Elsie soon went to work for North Carolina National Bank in Charlotte. She served the company for forty-three faithful years seeing it through the transitions of NCNB, Nations Bank and on to what is now Bank of America. Family was important to Elsie and one of her greatest joys was hosting the family Thanksgiving meal each year for all her siblings and their families. Many long remembered memories were made at these gatherings, and she held them dear to her heart. In addition to her parents, Elsie was preceded in death by her siblings; Howard Jordan, J.D. Jordan, Earline Hicks, Dianne Caldwell, and Martha Robertson.
