Affectionately known as Lizzy to friends & family, she attended Woodlands Academy (class of 1976) and graduated from the University of Missouri Journalism school (class of 1980). Liz had a successful career in Public Relations & Advertising, working for 34 years at Edelman. She was a proud member of the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority, and a devout Catholic. An avid reader and a fantastic cook, Liz also enjoyed Cubs baseball, Northwestern Wildcats sports, teaching religious ed., traveling with her husband, and Pewaukee Lake sunsets.
In addition to her husband she is survived by children John (Breanne), Kate McClung (Brennan), and Maggie (Nick De Paul); eight beautiful grandchildren Ava, Liam, Logan, Vivienne, Grady, Murphy, Nico, and Cameron; sisters Kathleen Donnelly (Joe), Michelle Healey, Patricia Healey Yaniz (Ralph), Jane Healey, and brother in law Ken Meyers (Kris). She will be greatly missed by her nieces, nephews, close friends, and neighbors.
She is preceded in death by her parents and brother Frank Jr.
Liz's family would like to express sincere gratitude to the North Shore Oncology team and the Integrated Palliative & Hospice Care staff.
A funeral Mass will be held at St. Joseph Catholic Church, 121 E Maple Ave, Libertyville, IL on Thursday, September 19 at 10:30 AM. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Lizzy's memory to the St. Joseph Catholic Church Food Pantry, 112 N. Milwaukee Avenue, Libertyville, IL 60048.

I had the pleasure of spending one weekend a year for about 20 years with Liz. One of my favorite people to see at NU Homecoming every year. Always a smile, always a hug, and always a little ribbing. Love you Liz. God bless you. Rest in peace.

I am so sad to learn Liz has passed. We worked together at Edelman for 30 years and I thought of her like a big sister. She was creative, smart, supportive and positive.
Liz was the ultimate connector for Edelman and the spark that ignited many long-term client relationships. She carved a new path for women by starting one of the first remote roles and then going part-time so she could always be there for her family.
She was also my personal connector! She introduced me to one of my best guy friends. She led me to my beloved dog through her volunteer rescue work. She brainstormed with me over lunch after I left Edelman about potential hobbies and an encore job.
Above all, Liz reminded me that family & friends are the most important. She always asked about my family and shared wonderful updates about her kids and grandchildren.
Rest in peace, Liz. You will be so missed.

Dave and family, I am so very sorry for your loss. Even though I only met her a few times at NU homecoming events, she was always gracious, effervescent and so friendly. A donation in Lizzy's name is being made to the St. Joseph Catholic Church Food Pantry. Eric Schonberger, Germantown, MD.

Katharine Hepburn and Tracy Lord could have said of her; "My she was Yar!!" Quick, agile, always sailing true. All who knew her felt her true love.
Ken and I have sent a donation to the St. Joe's food pantry in her honor. With deep respect, Mary Greene Mottet

I knew Liz from Woodlands. A brilliant, focused, fun-loving classmate who was a true leader. Liz was at the top of the class exuding good energy always. She will be missed dearly by so many. My heart goes out to the entire Healey-Meyers Family. You are in my prayers.
