Elizabeth Alma "Liz" Stover

Judge Stover ..so compassionate...so just...a true humanitarian..

She added so much to the Superior Court bench in this County..

RIP

The passing of Judge Stover brings much sadness. I worked as a court clerk for her and ultimately became her judicial assistant. She was not just a boss but became a true friend. She was the most most compassionate person I have ever known. Her presence in my life has left me amazing memories. The world lost a wonderful woman that I was proud to have known and kept ties with. Sincerest condolences to her loved ones. She will be missed but never forgotten!

I was one of her court reporters, for about four years. I remember her work ethic, her love of films/movies, her love of animals. I was a huge movie buff also & she used to make me tell her the plot lines of movies I'd seen, even how they ended & then she'd go see them anyway, knowing how they turned out! I was always amused by that. She loved her children more than any of the above loves - my thoughts & prayers are with her family.

I also met Judge Stover in 1989 when she hired me as a reporter. She was my first judge and she taught me so many things. When she retired, I lost a great boss. She was a woman I admired not only because she accomplished so much at a time when it was difficult for women to succeed, but most importantly I admired her for the caring, compassionate, down to earth way she lived her life. My deepest condolences to her family.

I did not meet Judge Stover until 1989, when I had the good fortune to be appointed to the superior court bench in Maricopa County. I found "Liz" to be a terrific colleague and a warm and genuine human being. Even after she retired we would occasionally run into each other at the credit union or elsewhere. She always remembered my fondness for music in general and the trumpet in particular. What a delightful lady. I am so glad I had the chance to know her, and I hope her family will...

Our Thoughts and Prayers are with you and your family!!

I worked at the Maricopa County Superior Court many years ago and Judge Stover was one of the nicest judges I have ever met. She is the one that taught me to give to others of yourself and you will be a happy person. She was right. Thank you for everything Judge Stover.

My sincere wishes to Judge Stover's children, David and Rachel, and the rest of her family during this time. I was one of her Court Clerks and spent lots of time with her at work, once even until 11:00 p.m., in a hearing, and during the ride home she gave me since the buses had stopped running that late. Tired as I was, I am sure I would only stay that late for Judge Stover. I will miss her. Sometimes, Judge Stover and I would go to Park Central for lunch and to a small store there to...

My deepest sympathy to Judge Stover's family and friends. I was an attorney with Community Legal Services for five of Judge Stover's years on the bench and she was on my list of judges who would be willing to consider granting temporary restraining orders where justice required her kind and fair intervention. I remember one late Friday afternoon when I called for her help and she ordered a landlord to replace a door he had removed at 5 pm that cold Friday, hoping to force my client, a...
