Liz was the sweetest person to know... We have SO many wonderful memories of her.. she was always very loving and kind and of course funny!! We were always laughing! Our family has wonderful memories of her... one of the favorite memories is how she started the tradition of making Gingerbread houses at Christmas time when our children were all young snd in elementary school. Our kids all loved that and it´s now continued . She was very active as a young mother ; busy working nightshift as a nurse and volunteering at the school. She was always interested in helping out on the PTA and lending a hand with a school fundraiser. Liz was always there for people when she saw someone in need and was full of compassion and empathy for humanity. She loved her family with all of her heart and soul and was SO proud to see her son get married and then eventually see a new grandson ...and then her daughters marriage... Blessings that she was given and treasured.
She will be greatly missed by all of us ... May God bless her sweet soul with heavenly Peace, Joy and Love for all eternity.
May God comfort her family with Love and Peace.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Voorhees Family.
With Love,
Debi & Pat Greenfield
