Liz was a wonderful wife, mother, grandma, sister, aunt, and friend. She especially loved spending time with her grandchildren. She enjoyed laughing and making others laugh, playing games, painting figurines, working in her yard and spending time outdoors, but the biggest enjoyment in her life was to support and participate in her children’s and grandchildren’s activities. Whether it be chaperoning school trips, attending band and choir concerts, cheering loudest at baseball games and sporting events, annual camping trips, she loved every minute of it. Liz enjoyed hosting family and friends at holidays and always opened her home and heart to anyone that came to her home. She will be missed by all who knew and loved her.
Memorials may be made in Liz's name to American Diabetes Association.
