She and Milton loved to travel and enjoyed trips with family and friends. She enjoyed game nights with friends, participating in the same bridge group for over 30 years, spending time along the Comal River in New Braunfels, and spending her time with her children and grandchildren.

Elizabeth was a loving and committed wife, mother, sister, grandmother and friend. She will be remembered for her kind and generous heart. Her battle with Alzheimer's took her mind, but it did not take her sweet spirit. She will be missed, but her footprints on the sand of time shall ever be evident.
