An avid singer and yodeler, she always had a song to share, no matter where she was, singing loudly and often. A true artist with needle and thread, nearly every member of her family having a handmade Christmas stocking or other beautiful stitchery heirloom that she lovingly created. Puzzles of all sorts never defeated her whether it be crosswords or jigsaws or creating a stitchery project out of scrap pieces. Elizabeth was often found at the family game table, winning often, she loved the competition. All those who knew her, will remember her beauty and love of family.

Her oldest granddaughter, Adria. Surviving her are her children, DarJan(Wes), Michelle, Malia (Ken) and Ish (Colette). Her sisters, Jean and Carolyn. Elizabeth had twelve grandchildren and 18 great grandchildren.
