Elizabeth M. "Liz" (Melody) Gorham

My name is alicia thomas. I worked with liz for ten years. It was first job and i was only 15 years old. She took me under her wings and was more like a mother then a boss. I called her this morning at the aquarium and didnt know she had passed away. It saddens me to know such a great women is gone. Thank you for letting people that knew her still be able to leave a post. I dont have facebook. I am very old fashioned so having this as opportunity to make a comment about liz is indeed...

I am so saddened to just see this listing about Liz. We worked together the early years at the New England Aquarium and there was never a dull moment. There were 3 "Liz's" in the office at the time, two of us shared one office so that was confusing.

But Liz was a Dot Girl like myself and we immediately hit it off. She was a wonderful lady, loved her job, and loved the people in her life.

I am so sorry that we drifted apart after I left the Aquarium, but we sure did have some...

So sorry to hear Liz has passed away , I will miss meeting her at the store or walking down the Ave. and just having a talk. . My condolences to her family and friends. You will be missed Liz

I am sad to hear of Liz's passing but feel fortunate to have known and worked with her. She had a big heart and was a wonderful character.

Liz was an important figure at the New England Aquarium for decades. She headed up visitor services and was responsible for training and supervising dozens of front line staff. She had high standards that benefited the tens of millions of visitors who visited the aquarium over her tenure. Much of the visitor experience was influenced by how Liz ran...

I first met Liz, when she became my supervisor in Visitor Services back in September of 93' at the New England Aquarium. It was always such a pleasure to work with her and boy there was never a dull moment.

She had this thing about our shirts being un-tucked while at work. I fondly remember, talking to her at the reception desk with my colleague John one morning after doing an overnight. Liz pulled up my shirt but unfortunately for her she pulled it way too high and as result there...

I heard the sad news this morning. I worked with Liz at Star a few years back and will miss her a lot. She was always nice and was easily one of the best people I ever knew. My heart goes out to her family and friends.
