Elizabeth Lee Laubert, 74, of Owensville, died on Wednesday, Oct. 8, 2008 at St. Mary's Health Center in Jefferson City, Mo.
Elizabeth was born in Macon County, Ill. on Dec. 4, 1933, to the late Frank and Iva (Spurgeon) Collier. On Sept. 3, 1955, at the First Baptist Church in Owensville she was united in marriage to Alfred E. Laubert. She was a member of the First Baptist Church since 1953, where she belonged to the choir for fifty years. Elizabeth was also a member of the Modern Woodmen of America. She began her working career at Deb's Shoe Factory in Owensville. After the birth of her first child, she became a full time mother and homemaker. About the time her youngest child graduated from high school, she began a part-time job at the Little Dutch Bakery in Owensville. In 1987, she went back to work full time as a cook with the Gasconade County R-2 School District. She worked at the same school building on Highway 19 South and watched it turn from the high school to the middle school and finally to the 3-5 center. She worked as a cook with the school system until 2007 when she was forced to retire.
Elizabeth learned to needlepoint in the early 1970's when she was a member of the Happy Homemakers Extension club. For the rest of her life it was rare to find her without a needlepoint project in her hands. A piece of her work representing Gasconade County hangs in the Missouri State Capitol. Of equal pride to her, is the fact that many pieces of her work are also in many homes in central Missouri and Western New York. Whether it is a framed picture, a cushion, one of the 1000's of Christmas ornaments she stitched, or a coaster that she would slip in the get well cards she sent—after 30 years of stitching and craft sales from Union to Jefferson City and gifts given by her children, undoubtedly many own a piece of her work.
Elizabeth was passionate about her family history. She enjoyed researching and organizing genealogical research on her family as well as Alfred's. She loved to share her research with family members and travel to area cemeteries to clarify information, discover new family lines and guide others to family gravesites.
Each Thursday afternoon, Elizabeth would make the rounds at the local nursing homes. Several of her childhood and church friends looked forward to her weekly visits. She particularly enjoyed sending her nursing home friends Christmas cards that they would receive on Christmas Eve.
Elizabeth was preceded in death by her husband Alfred; and by two brothers, Charles and George Collier.
Her survivors include her children, Karen and husband, Dr. Conrad Balcer of Jefferson City, Alfreda Laubert of Jefferson City and William Laubert of Hornell, N.Y.; three sisters, Virginia Mello, Evelyn Eller, and Velma Hinson; by two grandchildren, Stefan and Connie Balcer of Jefferson City and many nieces and nephews and cousins.
Funeral services were held on Saturday, Oct. 11 at 11 a.m. at the Gottenstroeter Funeral Home in Owensville with Pastor David Robertson officiating. Burial was in the Owensville City Cemetery.
