Elizabeth was a true example of “you get what you give in life” and she lived each day hoping to make someone else’s day better.
She had many dear friends through the years of her life, raising a family of six in Mayfield Village, her days working for Mayfield Schools, her later years in Chardon and through her church. She shared her love and joy for life freely and with an open heart, until her final months and days while living at Maplewood Senior Living.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests a donation to Project Hope, 25 Freedom Road, Painesville, OH 44077, https://projecthopeforthehomeless.org.
