We first met Elizabeth, along with her late husband Bob, many many years ago while on holiday in Las Vegas and continued to meet them regularly there each year. We considered them dear friends and continued to meet Elizabeth regularly after Bob's death. Our friendship continued including a wonderful visit with her in Milwaukee just a few years ago.

We loved her very much and she was our very special friend. We will certainly miss her and her great sense of humour and her talent for story telling!

Our thoughts are with all the family (those we have met and those we have not met) at this sad time.

We met Elizabeth through friends Wilma and Jim Nisbet while staying at the Carriage House in Las Vegas.
We looked forward each year to spending poll time with Elizabeth...her stories were wonderful and she entertained us for hours.
It was Elizabeth who introduced us to frozen grapes and we still enjoy them.
She was a wonderful and gracious lady with a witty sense of humour. We had many dinners together where she and my husband would vie to see who could tell the biggest stories.
She was a delight and will be missed greatly by all her family whom she loved unconditionally.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you as you lay your dear one to rest.
god Bless

She would always relate stories about baby sitting me during WW2 and tossing me around during black-outs. For you who are to young we had periods when we could not have any lights on in the house in preparation for German "air raids".
