Elizabeth Katherine Cadell

Elizabeth K. Cadell passed away peacefully at her home in Potomac, MD on September 28, 2023. She was four months shy of her 100th birthday. Liz was born in Green Bay, WI to the late Anthony and Myrtle Slupinski. She attended St. Joseph's Academy, Marquette University where she received her B.S. in Education and St. Mary's Hospital School where she received her R.N. The ten years that followed her graduation were spent as a Senior Faculty Member in pediatric nursing at Children's Hospital in Milwaukee. After moving to Phoenix, AZ, Liz spent two years at St. Joseph's Hospital School of Nursing where she helped design a graduate nursing education program for the Barrow Neurological Institute. While in Phoenix in 1957, Liz met and married Henry Cadell, her spouse of 66 years. After relocation moves to Westport, CT and Doylestown, PA, Liz and Hank settled in Potomac, MD. Their marriage was blessed with two beautiful daughters, Alison (Mrs. Robert Powell Avary) and Anne (Mrs. John Joseph Killeen, III). They survive her as do her two sons-in-law and her beloved five grandchildren: Katie, Jack and Patrick Killeen and Caroline and Catherine Avary. In the late 1970's, Liz sought a new challenge and embarked on a career in real estate. She was a licensed real estate associate, where for seven consecutive years, Liz was a Top Ten Member of the Million Dollar Sales Club for both the District and the Montgomery County Board of Realtors. In 1978, Liz saw the possibilities for a burgeoning real estate market in Potomac, earned her Broker's license and, always a trailblazer, opened her own very successful firm, The Crossroads Realty. She later sold her firm to Sam Pardoe of Pardoe Real Estate. Liz stayed on as a Vice President of Pardoe Real Estate where she continued to be one of the pre-eminent Top Producing agents until she hung up her license at the age of 83. When she wasn't working, Liz enjoyed time at her beach house in Rehoboth Beach, DE soaking in the sun and reading a huge stack of books or snowbirding in her treasured second home of Scottsdale, AZ. Liz won't have a tombstone, but if she did, the epitaph would read, "She loved life and lived it to the fullest." In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the MAKE-A-WISH FOUNDATION. A mass of remembrance will be celebrated at a later date.
