Affectionately called "Mimi" by her family. She always ensured her home was well-kept and her family well-fed. Family was her focal point and her joy. She loved the ocean and was fascinated by lighthouses. She enjoyed family trips to the Outer Banks and Long Beach Island. Elizabeth was an avid reader, a nature lover, birdwatcher, and gardening enthusiast and was known to take months creating a spectacular Christmas display in her home. On the side, she enjoyed searching for hidden treasures at rummage sales especially if milk-glass was on display. In her later years, Elizabeth fully enjoyed taking aquatics class at the YMCA with her dear friends. Her greatest joy was to be surrounded by family and friends. A memorial will be announced at a later date. Services entrusted to Leaver-Cable-Givnish Life Celebration Home of Buckingham.
