Adored and beloved mother and friend to everyone, Elizabeth was a creative soul who was naturally inspired by beauty, art, and music, and brought laughter wherever she went. She took many Caribbean cruise adventures with her husband Bill, but was also perfectly happy to sit with her cats and watch old time cartoons like Tom & Jerry. Her wit, silliness, laugh, and creative heart will be terribly missed.
