What can we say about Elizabeth she was the strongest fearless woman anyone could meet! Growing up she fought many battles with her late husband, out of all the things our grandma has went through! The hardest battle for her was not having a close relationship with her daughter Margie! She loved her daughter endlessly, She did everything she could to make right with her daughter loved her with all of her heart and wants nothing but the best for her daughter! She was a loving grandma, all her grandkids loved her endlessly even the adopted ones! We will all miss her dearly and forever Cherish all out memories we have! She always made sure her grandbabies were taken care of! Elizabeth was so loved by many and she’s gonna be so missed. 

Grandma, 

I have to say I’m so blessed to have been that person for you, being your rock, being your safe space the last couple years of your life! I watch you go down in your health.. there is never preparing yourself for losing your grandma! You have always been my safe place. I’m person to look back to when I need someone to talk too! I will forever cherish our final moments together! The warmth and the love I felt from you when u seen me come back on Tuesday. The way u pulled me in, I knew that was me saying good bye to my grandma! You be that model I always told you were. Rock it up there in the heaven and please give my dad and uncle Ira a hug for me! Forever and always your sweetpea -Raelynn

Mom

Im at a loss for words so forgive me if this doesnt sound good but you became an angel 12-31-25 you were an amazing lady if u knew her u know what im saying ...she had kind of a rough life but always held it together and stayed strong....shes free now free from the hurt ,pain and worry she had to deal with in life...im going to miss her sooo much ...she was there for alot of people always loving sweet and kind ,but if u upset her and she pointed her finger at u when she told u about urself ,that finger just seemed to get bigger and u knew u was in trouble...life will not be the same for me as I no longer have my mom to fall back on ,talk to or hug when I need that mom hug and to be honest when she started going down I backed away I wasn't there alot as I couldn't handle seeing my mom in so much distress but I loved her immensely...I thank God that I had such an amazing daughter to be there for her but im also very sorry that I wasn't there as much as I should have been... just so u understand I had to watch my mom go through what I would call hell growing up so to watch her fall when she was so strong all those years really hurt me to see!! With all that being said mom i love u and will miss u soooo much ...life will not be the same with out u .....if u see them give my family an friends there hugs for me ...I know ur safe and full of love know so me asking u to punch dad in the face probably didn't happen lol..rest in peace mom !!! Love always your daughter Margie 

Her bonus daughter Sue thought she was the best bonus mother she ever had! And she had many more people that thought the same like her grandbabies!
