She continued volunteering for many years at the public library and was on the Bloomfield Library Board up until her passing.

In Liz’s younger years she was engaged to Benjamin who was the love of her life. Tragically his life was taken too soon in a car accident. Liz loved her family. She was always positive and encouraging. She loved to brag about everyone’s accomplishments and was always lending a hand to others whether it was giving food, money, trinkets, flowers or advice she had a giving soul. Although she didn’t have much, she was more than generous.

She loved the stray cats and would always feed them, especially “Tuxedo Cat” that became her daily visitor. She loved all her family members dogs (her fur babies as she would call them) and would bring them treats and toys and they all loved her dearly. She also loved colorful flowers and watching the birds from the window and enjoying watermelon snow cones.
