Elizabeth Schwartz Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Aug. 28, 2024.
Liz passed away surrounded by loved ones on August 28, 2024 after a 6 year battle with cancer. Through out the battle the cancer never robbed her of her courage and continued to love life. She was born in Miami, Florida to Don and Marty Ernst and grew up with her three siblings Diana, Ailene and Donald Jr. Growing up she loved to travel and scuba dive, especially in Eleuthera. Liz waited until her 30s for her perfect man and married Fred Schwartz at a beautiful wedding at the Biltmore in Coral Gables. Together they raised their daughters Nicole and Alison and she was a stepmother to Fred's sons David and Michael. Liz loved spending time with her family and friends at the beach or riding her bike.

The Memorial Service will be held on Sunday, September 1 at 11:00 am at Temple Beth El in Boca Raton, Florida. They can also be live streamed at https://bethelmausoleum.org/livestream/

I first met Liz traveling to North Carolina with four others I was a First time skier. We were staying in a ski in and ski out cabin on the top of the mountain. So that morning everyone is ready and standing on the top of the mountain ready to ski down and I´m thinking how hard could it really be? So I head down right into the snow blower with a laugh or two . Liz takes most of the morning helping me down to the bottom of the mountain for ski lesson's laughing helping me all the way down. That was a great trip . We stayed friends . Liz was also a Big part of my Wedding planning when Hurricane Andrew passed through and created havoc on Key Biscayne where we were planning on having the reception at Sonesta beach hotel. 3 months before the wedding they informed us they had to much damage I needed to renovate . She spent the day with me helping me find a new venue and we did and we had a great time and she was also part of my wedding party I´m so grateful for her and All we´ve celebrated a lot of firsts I´ll always remember them . She´s a very special lady Sending Our Deepest Condolences to her entire Family . May your hearts always be filled with love and peace with all the beautiful memories you share within your own hearts.

Liz was an amazing person! I will never forget her love of life, all our travels together and the fun things we did together! As a "GGC" member we had great fondue parties (she made awesome Bloody Mary's!), traveling to the Keys, snow skiing, snorkeling in Eleuthera and toasting "Long live the flask" on the trains during our Europe trip with Joyce. Fred and family, I am so sorry for your loss! My heart is so sad. May she rest in peace. Much love, Pamela

I met Liz almost 34 years ago when I first started dating Chip.. We lived in Fort Lauderdale, Liz, and Don Would come over for pool / bbq parties, taking out the boat or going jet skiing . She never missed out. Fourth of July parties
I remember thinking when I first met her, she had this amazing smile, a beautiful laugh. She was very kind, very beautiful and had a sophistication about her. We loved spending time with her.
Approx 2.5 yrs ago , my husband was diagnosed with cancer and while he was going through Chemo and radiation, Liz reached out and told us she was in remission and shared some of her challenges and experience with her cancer.
Even while she was going through her own illness, she called to make sure that we knew she was thinking and praying for us., this was Liz. With her wonderful. personality and amazing. spirit ....she comforted us.
We love you Liz , you will forever be loved, forever remembered and always missed.. Love and prayers Jb , Cariann and Jb Jones 111.

My wife Penny and I first met Liz over 40 years ago at a little bar called the Golden Buddha. Penny was immediately impressed with how beatiful Liz was and how she brightened the room with her presence.

We became friends and traveled frequently to the Bahamas. I recall fondly one such trip where we had about ten people staying in a house overlooking Bahamas Bight. What a memorable time! Liz immediately took the lead and showed us all the various sights to see, found islanders to make us dinner, and made lifelong friends with the residents of Gregorytown.

And then it was time for Liz to start the next phase of her life, finding that perfect soul mate and starting a family. Liz did this with a flare, leaving behind two beautful daughters and a doting husband

But the one thing that stands out about Liz that was wonderful to me was her smile. Her smile and dancing eyes lit up a room, and you could not help but wonder what was going on behind that smile, yet you knew it was more than you could imagine!

Liz, here's to fair winds and following seas through eternity!

Hello Everyone, I am & was our beautiful Liz' cosmetologist who works mostly on cancer patients. As a cosmetologist we hear many stories that touch our hearts, make us laugh & feel their pain. My experiences with Liz was always that yes you can do it, don't put up with that, & how can I help kind of woman. She loved her family dearly! I will cherish the memories of her bringing her mom Marty with her for a day of beauty, constantly doting over her mom, listening to her phone conversations with her daughters, always helping them best she could, reminiscing about our old neighborhood, going to the same school in N. Miami, & practically wearing the same wedding dress in different years. How we bragged about the styles back then. Amazing how the Universe brings us together. I admired her strength & kind giving heart. I thank Liz' amazing friends who recommended her to me. I am blessed & grateful, to experience her up close & personal. I will miss you big bright shinning star Now she becomes the Guardian Angel to her soon to be grandchild. Liz, be sure to give the angels kiss on his/her back of the neck like the one that is on yours. ~Tamara

Liz was like a second mother to me. She had a way of extending her love to anybody who wandered through her door. No matter the venue every memory I have with Liz is a fond one. She is so so very special and I am a better person for knowing her. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the life and lessons to know Liz was to love her

Truly one of the most amazing people I have ever met. She was like a second mother to me and will always hold a special place in my life and heart. From crazy trips to the Bahamas, to hilarious gossip sessions, to way too competitive pickleball games, she never failed to bring a smile to my face and I know that is true for all who were lucky enough to know her.

My thoughts and prayers are with Fred and the family. Liz was a loving and caring individual. She supported me throughout my son´s lung transplant and was always there to listen if I needed her. She was such a courageous woman and she fought such a valiant battle. She never quit and she remained hopeful throughout her struggles. RIP my friend and soar with the angels always. You will be missed! Love always my friend ... Brenda Krissel

Liz will be missed more than I can even explain. Every moment spent with her was always one of the happiest moments in my life - she lit up every room she was in. I am so happy to have been on her "favorites" list in her phone and to have received countless butt dials over the years. I love being her "adopted" third daughter and will cherish that honor for the rest of my life!!!! Our Florida family won´t be the same without her.
