Elizabeth Anne, better known as Lib, was born in Jackson, Mississippi on October 6, 1928. She grew up in Canton, Mississippi with her parents, Peggy (Satterfield) Perlinsky and Isidor Perlinsky and also spent time in Pasadena, California with her aunt and uncle, Betty and Bill Tyner. Lib graduated from Canton High School and attended the University of Mississippi. In the summer of 1950, she met the love of her life, Alvin Chappell Hope, Jr., and they were married on November 19, 1950 at Grace Episcopal Church in Canton. After years of traveling throughout Texas and Canada as an Army and oil field wife, she and Al settled in Abilene, Texas in 1973. Besides Al, Lib's greatest love was to ensure all her family and friends were happy. She loved cooking for her family and having coffee with her friends. Lib lived a beautiful life and will be missed by all.
She was preceded in death by her brother, Billy Satterfield, granddaughter, Elizabeth Chappell Hope, and niece, Melissa Parker.

I only met Mrs. Hope a few times, but I was struck by her graciousness and kind demeanor. I have been moved by all the lovely things the family has been saying about her. I know my daughter Margaret loved getting to know her these past couple of years and thought of her as a grandmother. Mrs. Hope was very kind to Margaret and made her feel included as a member of the family. I will be praying for the entire family during this difficult time.
