What follows are my recollections of her as conveyed at her memorial observance in April, 2022. ............... Liz first entered my life when I was asked to sit in as accompanist for a Princeton-based cabaret group. In their heyday, they were the toast of the town.

I am also so glad we got to email at her birthday and reconnect. I am so very sorry for your loss. May your memories together be a blessing and bring you joy and peace. - Greta

Liz and the late Phillis Marchand recruited me to the McCarter Board, one of the honors and proudest periods of my life. I treasured her friendship.
