ELIZABETH RIEL Obituary

RIEL, ELIZABETH ANN (LIZ) Passed away peacefully on May 26, 2020, in Brampton, Ontario, at the age of 75. Much beloved wife of Carm, mother of Jeff and Jennifer, mother-in-law of Ashley Sanders and Steve Leckey and grandmother of Mackenzie, Cameron and Zachary. She will be missed by all, including her much- loved extended family: sister Jane (Jim) Gudnason, brothers-in-law Stuart (Doreen), Robert (Marilyn) and sisters-in-law Marilyn and Marjorie (Malkie). Liz was a kind, generous and thoughtful friend, who loved to socialize, bake for her family and tend her garden. She was a devoted volunteer at her church, at the CNIB and in her local community, especially after she moved back to her hometown of Brighton, Ontario in her 50s. She was deeply proud of her children and took great joy in watching her grandchildren grow and thrive. A celebration of Liz's life will be held at a later date. For those who wish, memorial donations to the Alzheimer Society of Canada or Fighting Blindness Canada would be gratefully received Memories, photos or condolences may be shared at www.eganfuneralhome.com

Dear Carm, we were just getting to know you and Liz and we could see how much you loved each other. We were so glad to have you fellowship with us at St. Pauls in Nobleton. We cannot imagine the grief you must be feeling losing Liz so unexpectedly. We are praying for you that our great and loving God will comfort you. Liz is safe in the arms of her beloved Saviour, Jesus Christ, and this gives us comfort. Please feel very welcome to call upon us and let us be Jesus hands and feet for you. We want to help you with anything we can do to lift this burden of grief. We will hold you up in our prayers and hug you and love you and do everything we can to help you through this immense grief. As seniors, we would like to adopt you in our close circle of friends.

So sorry to hear about Liz's early passing. Too soon. Carm and Jane are the only family members I know from our old days at Willard Hall in Toronto, but my thoughts are with the entire family. Liz and I lived together for two years and enjoyed so many wonderful times together. A special lady for sure.
