Liz graduated in 1942 from Tri-County High School in Buffalo, IL and worked prior to becoming a Navy Wave. At Glenview Naval Air Station she met the love of her life, a returning Navy POW, John Rosa, and celebrated 72 years of marriage on January 17, 2018. Liz was a perfect Navy wife and Mother. Her life and heart were devoted to her family. Because of John’s multiple deployments she was often alone raising her four children. She loved family activities, dancing, cooking both southern and Italian food, gardening, and when she was young, horseback riding. Liz won a Blue Ribbon at the Kentucky Fair.

The family would like to thank the nurses and staff at Arbor Terrace Ortega for their loving care; especially Denise, Geneva and Joanie in addition to her Hospice Nurse Carolyn.
In lieu of flowers the family requests donations be sent in her honor to: Alzheimer’s Association 4237 Salisbury Road #406 Jacksonville, Fl 32216.
