Elizabeth Cochran, 85, of Colorado Springs, Colorado, passed away peacefully on October 1, 2025. She was born on August 18, 1940, in Florence, Colorado.

Elizabeth was a loving wife and mother whose compassion and generosity touched everyone who knew her. She dedicated her time to helping others through her work with the Red Cross, serving as both a volunteer and a trainer. She was also a Girl Scout leader and a talented local seamstress, known for her creativity and commitment to her community.

Elizabeth loved music and found great joy in singing and playing the organ. She was often by her husband Carl's side as he led community events and musical gatherings, sharing in the joy and fellowship those moments brought.

She is survived by her husband, Carl Cochran, and their children Alice Cochran, Cheryl Nunnali, Debbie Wilhelm, and Carl Cochran Jr. She was preceded in death by her daughter Bonnie Young, her parents, her husband's parents, and her sibling.

A celebration of Elizabeth's life will be held on Sunday, October 12, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. at The Bell Tower, 201 E. Second Street, Florence, Colorado. A reception will follow.

Elizabeth will be remembered for her loving spirit, her service to others, and the music and warmth she brought into every room she entered.
