Her family and home was the most important aspect of her life. She spent free time outdoors tending her flower beds, raising beautiful vegetable gardens and canning the produce.
She was a gifted crafter and made crocheting and embroidery pieces. She loved to quilt. Elizabeth was a very good cook and often there were the aromas of a special holiday meal, chocolate gravy on biscuits, fried chicken and the best homemade chicken and dumplings.
She was happy to care for her husband, children and grandchildren. She welcomed any friends who came to her gate.

Elizabeth leaves two brothers and four sisters, Dolly Chance of Moodys, OK, Faye Johnson and husband Felix of Peggs, OK, Virginia Castillo of Wagoner, OK, Darlene Dolan of Jamestown, CA, Homer Leon Hobbs of Peggs, OK, and Jimmy Hobbs and wife Ella of Leach, OK.
