ELIZABETH A. SCHOEPKE

Elizabeth A. Schoepke, 40, passed away unexpectedly on her birthday Thursday, September 13, 2018 at the University of NM Hospital in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Elizabeth was born in Arlington Heights, Illinois, and was the daughter of Michael P. Schoepke and Karolynn K. Schoepke (Conley). She graduated from the University of New Mexico in 2002 with a degree in Communications and, most recently, worked for a major home building company in Albuquerque--Stillbrook Homes. Elizabeth was a sensitive soul and truly loved the people she cherished. She had a magnetic personality that allowed her to reach people in a deep and meaningful way, a rare ability to captivate everyone she met, and was always making friends wherever she went. Elizabeth was a confident and assertive woman who lived every day to the fullest. She loved animals and was the proud parent of her two cats, Rocco and Ginji. She is survived by her father, Michael and aunt, Lisa Rader of Albuquerque, New Mexico; her son, Trevor Eulenbach of Lubbock, Texas; aunts, Linda Fine and Cathy Wloch; stepsister, Nicole Coniglio; stepbrother, Michael ("Mikey") Coniglio, all of the Chicago, Illinois area; and many other cousins and relatives in Illinois, and New Mexico.
