Liz lived in Bagley where she and Sid had moved prior to his death in April of 1979. Liz loved to work and enjoyed lively conversations and relationships with many customers. In 1997 Liz retired and moved out to Union Lake to be close to her children and grandchildren. In 2004 she moved to the Country Place in Erskine where she lived until June of 2018 when she moved to the Pioneer Memorial Care Center. Liz was always appreciative and had fun with the many wonderful caregivers in her life.Liz was a wonderful cook and many have memories of large tables set for guests to enjoy her meals and everyone always wanted her potato salad. She was an expert seamstress and it was normal to have fabric and a variety of patterns laying about. While living in Erskine, she also became skilled with ceramics and has left many of her artistic treasures, the most important one being a full Nativity set. Family and friends were her real joy and she made sure everyone spent holidays and important events together. Lately, playing Bingo was something she looked forward to and you'd think she never won, but we all know different.Her large family is grateful to have had her in their lives for so many important years.
