Anne met Elsa when she became a befriending volunteer with charity Independent Age four years ago.
Elsa is a member of Great Sampford WI and enjoys cooking and living independently.
Several years ago, Elsa's family asked her what the secret to a long and happy life is.
She replied: “Just do anything, do whatever you want.”
