It was my pleasure to work with Elisabeth as she began her banking career with the First National Bank of Mobile, and it was obvious that she would become a successful bank professional. She had a sincere work ethic toward serving her clients, and it was coupled with her being as highly intelligent person. . Obviously, family, friends , and customers will share her absence as she completed her life journey.

We are shocked and saddened. Elisabeth was a neighbor and a friend for the past decade. We helped one another often and looked out for each other. Elisabeth was also a steward for our animal friends in the neighborhood. She will be greatly missed. Our condolences to her family and friends.

I just saw this and hated to read it. Elisabeth and I went to the Alabama - Notre Dame National Championship game in New Orleans in 1973 as dates. Me for Notre Dame and she for Alabama. (Notre dame Won).
I knew her Mom and Dad well and her younger sister Lucy her in Mobile.
May God Bless Elisabeth and her family.
