If your life was touched by Elizabeth, say a prayer and hug your loved ones.
The West Virginia and Kanawha County Associations of Retired School Employees extend their sincere sympathy to you, the family, in your sorrow. Blessings to all.
Elizabeth made a lifelong lasting impression on me long before I ever joined the family when I became her daughter in law and still am. She was definitely one of a kind. She use to spend hours when she would come in to visit talking to our kids about school.
For a job well done as Elizabeth certainly touched and changed many lives in a lifetime teaching career. GOD bless and comfort her family.
I love you Aunt Libby. Thank you for the great stories and memories you shared with me throughout the years.
