Elizabeth was preceded in death by her husband Henry, son Frank, daughter Dorothy, two granddaughters Kathleen and Bobbie, four brothers Arthur, Jacob, Adrian, and Walter and three sisters Mae, Olive, and Bessie.

Grandma – You’ve waited so long to be with Grandpa Henry and I’m so happy for you. I know that the only reason that you are sad right now is because all of us are sad.
Our eyes will never get to see your smile again, and our ears will never hear your laughter – but they will always be in our hearts and in our memories.
