Elizabeth (Schnee) Lind, born April 10, 1929, to Edward and Minnie (Dahly) Schnee, was called home Monday, January 20, 2025, peacefully, with her loving family by her side. On February 6, 1948, she married Lionel Blair Lind, and together raised six children. Elizabeth was a hardworking, dedicated, and loving wife, mother, and grandmother. She took great pride in the operation of the family turkey farm, which became a cherished family business for over 50 years, and a cornerstone of the Curtice community. Elizabeth also enjoyed working faithfully in her garden until age 93. The Lind home was a welcoming place for neighborhood children to gather after school for many years. As a faithful servant of God, Elizabeth dedicated countless hours volunteering at St. Lukes Lutheran Church. In recent years, Elizabeth joyfully gave those who visited packets of sunflower seeds to grow in their home garden.
