Elizabeth, known to all as “Betty”, was married to Max L. Box August 23, 1958. Betty was a Registered Nurse having trained at the College of St. Teresa’s in Winona Minnesota and had a full career. Max was an Electronics Engineer with prior Navy experience. They had 3 children, with twins Karen M. Box M.D. (Donald Harraghy O.D), Michael Box and their youngest child Daryl J. Box (Patti Howard). Betty had 5 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren.
Our parents retired together by moving to Phoenix, Az in 1994. They were able to cherish their grandchildren who lived Phoenix and Tucson. She was predeceased by her beloved husband Max in 2008.
Betty loved to play bridge and spent hours per week with friends with this same intense interest and developed a set of “besties” during her later years. They socialized together and had many common bonds. The outpouring of love and care for our mother did not go unnoticed.
Her final 4 months were spent in Prescott Az. She was surrounded with all the family member including 1 of the 2 great grandchildren she had yet to met. She was elated to see these 2 angels. She passed in peace with a full heart and full life.
