Liz was born May 19, 1955 in Vancouver, BC. She passed away peacefully, surrounded by her family, on November 27, 2015 at Richmond Hospital.
She was predeceased by her Mum (Betty) and her Dad (Ray). Liz was one of six siblings and grew up in Richmond. Liz and Gordie were married at the Minoru Chapel. She raised her children in Richmond then Ladner where the kids spent most of their school years. After a short trip back to live in Richmond, she moved to Ladysmith. Here is where she spent her most peaceful and sacred time. She loved her little house in the forest, where she found peace and tranquility.
For those of you that knew Liz in her younger years, you know she was always a bit of a rebel. That never changed. She lived by her own rules, fought for what she knew to be right and always told you how it was, not how you thought it should be. Her strength never wavered.
Her children were the light of her life. Eldest son Neil (Chelsea); Daughter Shannon; Second son Kyle (Sam) and her youngest son Lucas. These four kids were her greatest achievements and she loved them with her whole heart. Her heart also belonged to her grandbabies, Brooklyn, Madison, Kylie and Callan. These four brought so much pride and joy into her life.
Liz was part of an extensive family including many nieces and nephews. Liz especially had a close and special relationship with her niece Gina and great niece Emma. Liz also had many great friends throughout her life. Jan and Shannon meant so much to her.
Liz had serious health concerns starting early in her life. Liz never wanted these illnesses to define her. She never let that happen and she spoke about them as little as possible. Our family sends our thanks to Drs. Larry McClure, John Yun and Barbara Duncan for all of your care throughout the past few years.
First Liz was a daughter and a sister, then an auntie. Her life took the most meaning when she became a Mum and finally a Grandma. She was always a friend. All of these roles made her the amazing woman we all loved so much.
We are all so thankful to have been part of you.
In the words of Liz, “Bloody Hell!”
Liz requested that no service be held.
