Elizabeth graduated from Bryant and Stratton Business College and was the secretary for some of the Homemaker Clubs and Sunday School Classes and for many years tabulating the checks for church contributions. She was a loving and fun spirit for the whole family and enjoyed baking for family and friends. She even took dishes to potlucks in her nineties. Her Christian Faith, Church family and friends were a great comfort and enjoyment for her, particularly luncheons and trips. She enjoyed many crafts, sewing, and reading. She also enjoyed senior activities such as Triple L (Live Longer and Love It!) and Middletown Seniors.
