I'm so sorry to learn of Liz's passing. I'd known her since 5th grade at West Pullman. As I recall, she was a member of the "Ninettes," our 8th grade
"club." I'm so glad I got to talk to her at our reunion. May she rest in peace.

It isn't often that someone comes into your life, and leaves such a lasting impression. I shared some of the best times of my life with Liz. We traveled together and had loads of fun and a million laughs. I remember those times as if they were yesterday. Liz was incredibly kind and generous to a fault. When my father passed away in 1960 (mom died in 1958), Liz was at my front door with her suitcase. She didn't want me to be alone. Liz stayed for three weeks. Just a small glimpse into the kind of person that she was. I will miss our lunches and our long chats. Liz is now at peace with her husband of 52 years, John. The world is now a little darker without Liz in it.

When I think of Liz I think of her unwavering devotion to her husband John throughtout his long illness. Knowing her since grammar school she's been consistently good natured and in general a very good person, mwho has left us far too early. Rochelle (Radius) Navarette

I remember Liz from being in Delta Tri-Hi-Y together but also from the many encounters we had at Fenger. She always had a smile on her face and it seemed to me she was always bursting with energy. Though our conversation was short, I'm glad I chatted with her at our recent reunion. Can you imagine, she now knows what the rest of us don't. . . .what it's like in Heaven! Rest in peace, Liz.

Liz was a woman who was always thoughtful and kind. She was always so grateful for any kindness you extended to her. She is most happy now to be at home with our Lord and her beloved JOHN. Our loss is heavens gain.

Liz was a wonderful and true friend who will be long missed and never forgotten. Our meetings over the past years have been infrequent but when we did get together, it seemed that we'd seen each other the day before. Rest In Peace my dear friend.

I first met Liz in 7th grade at West Pullman. She teased me about my southern accent at the time. I haven’t talked to Liz for many years but I remember her always as the steadfast, straight forward and honest person that you could always count on for great advice. My deepest sympathy to her family and friends.
