Elizabeth was a guiding light in the lives of her children, always supporting them with her wisdom, strength, and unconditional love.  Affectionately known as Yia Yia, she took great joy in her role as a grandmother and great grandmother.  Her greatest pleasures were cooking, reading, and spending time with her family. 

As we mourn the life of Elizabeth, we also celebrate a life well lived.  Filled with love, laughter, and remembrances her memory will be forever cherished in our hearts.  Those who knew her well will be comforted by knowing she is reunited with those she loved so dearly.
