Elizabeth Howe Obituary

Elizabeth Kathryn Howe "Lizzy"

23 of Burlingame California, passed away suddenly, ending her earthly struggles and finding peace at last as our angel. Lizzy was born in Walnut Creek, California on April 17th 1991 to Kathryn and Douglas Howe, becoming the precious little sister of Douglas Howe and Corey Howe. She attended St. Matthew's Episcopal School in San Mateo, Burlingame High School and the University of California at Santa Barbara. She most recently resided in Santa Monica, where she was pursuing her interests and continuing her education in the creative arts. Her dreams were big and her talents were many, including being an aspiring writer and artist, however her greatest gift was lighting up a room and sharing her enormous capacity to love with her many friends and family.
Lizzy is survived by her parents Kathryn and Douglas Howe of Burlingame, brother Corey Howe, brother Douglas Howe, maternal grandparents Alice and Robert Mayo of Walnut Creek, paternal grandmother Evelyn Howe and grandfather Alan Wheeler of Santa Barbara, paternal aunts and uncles Brad Howe( Jill), Greg Howe, Cameron Ministri ( Peter) and maternal aunts and uncles Diana Weede (Robert), Allyson Mayo, Robert Mayo (Dawn) and cousins Allyson, Brittany, Robbie, Shayne, Rob, Clay, Matthew, Dillan, Mackenzie, Lochryn, Marshall, Jedrek, Matthew and Meghan and Matthew. She was predeceased by paternal grandfather John Marshall Howe. She leaves behind a host of friends, extended family and people who played important roles in her life including her cherished friends and confidants, Alonso and Chris.
The family will be hosting a Celebration of Life service at 3:30 p.m. on Sunday, October 5th at St Paul's Episcopal Church and a reception for friends and family immediately following. Please join to love and support Lizzy's family and friends in joyous remembrance of her. She will never be forgotten.
