Early Sunday morning our sweet mother was called home by her Lord and Savior. After high school she studied at Southeastern Louisiana University in Hammond, Louisiana where she met her future husband 'Sonny', they married in 1952. Sonny's job as a USDA inspector moved them from Louisiana to California, then Arizona before finally settling in El Dorado. In addition to the roles, she valued most, as wife, mother and grandmother, Elizabeth worked for the El Dorado Public School District, for William P. Cook, CPA, as the Manager of Bradley Woods Apartments and was currently a long time Receptionist at Champagnolle Landing Senior Center, where she treasured her coworkers and friends.

Also surviving are two sisters, Virginia Daugherty of Pine Bluff, AR and Barbara Stamps of Covington, LA, sister-in-law, Linda McLain of Covington, LA and grandchildren, Kyle Young and Mikayla Young.

A longtime member of Our Savior Lutheran Church and a kind and gentle Christian lady Elizabeth's favorite saying was "Blessed are the peace makers".
