Elizabeth Gertrude Napper

Elizabeth was born on April 2, 1928 in Middlesboro, Kentucky to Gertrude Elizabeth Stephens and Charles Ross Stephens. On Friday, September 8, 2017, our beautiful, loving Mother, Grandmother, and Great-Grandmother made her entrance to Heaven to be with our Lord and Savior in Dallas, Texas at the age of 89. She joined her mother and father, eagerly awaiting her arrival. She will be greatly missed, but forever remembered, for the wonderful, loving caring person she was, for the loving sacrifices she made for her daughters, and for the Godly inheritance she left her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Elizabeth graduated from Woodrow Wilson High School. She was a long time member of Casa View Baptist Church, Wilshire Baptist Church then First Baptist Church of Dallas. She was an active member in her beloved hobby of traditional rug hooking for over forty years.
