In the last couple of years, Liz had found a wonderful church family. She loved and was devoted to pastors Dave and Jill Hodges and her family at Family Worship Center. She had been saved and baptized.
Liz had a great sense of humor. She could keep everyone laughing and in stitches. I remember one time her and Aunt Idell were both standing on their head in Aunt Ersley's living room on New Year's Eve. Keep in mind they were both very large. It was an extremely hilarious sight.
Liz loved her grandchildren immensely. She would help anyone in any way even if it was at her own expense.
Liz loved working in the yard. She kept gardens with flowers. She loved bright colors. Her love of animals was overwhelming. She also leaves behind her cherished pups, Chrissy and Fred.
Liz was also a splendid and loved caregiver of many people. She had been sitting with Ms. Ann for the last 10 years.
