Liz was a wonderful wife and best friend to her husband Marty. She was a wonderful mother and grandmother with a loving family around her. Thanksgiving and Christmas were some of her favorite times of the year and she loved friends and family over to celebrate.
Liz raised and competitively showed Pomeranian dogs for many years enjoying that greatly.
Liz was a hard-working woman, never afraid to try new hard-working challenges in labor.
During her 71 years, Liz worked in factories, McDonald’s, went to college to become a teacher, was a retail clerk, a police dispatcher for multiple departments over many years, a Postal clerk, and worked 14 years as a school bus driver as owner/operator; all while being a loving wife and mother.

She is rejoicing with Jesus and family that has been her love and focus.

Her wishes of cremation are being honored with no services planned at this time.
