The funeral of Elsie Agnus Chant was held at The Parish Church of St. Denys, The Minster, Warminster, on 26th October 1981. She was 71.
The Warminster & District Church magazine, December 1981, noted:
The death of Elsie Chant, only a few months after that of her husband Roy, brought much sadness to many of us. Elsie Chant had been identified with the Minster for very many years and at one stage was on the Parochial Church Council. Recently she had become a useful member of our choir and her cheerfulness was appreciated by all of us. We extend our sympathy to her children and grandchildren.
