A 1914 graduate of the National Cathedral School for Girls in D.C., Elizabeth later became a concert soprano and studied at the Yale School of Music in New Haven, Connecticut.
Her father was William Kesley Schoepf, a self-made man who became president of the Cincinnati Traction and Cincinnati Car companies. Elizabeth's mother, Albertine Odell Schoepf, was the daughter of a patent attorney and mineral-mining investor and had grown up in Washington D.C.
Elizabeth married three times. Her first husband was Dr. Carl Paul Huebscher, a diplomat and Swiss national, who was serving as secretary of the Swiss legation in Washington D.C. in 1916 when he and Elizabeth wed. The couple had two children before their c. 1927 divorce: Maria Elizabeth Huebscher Wilson (1917-1993) and Carl William Huebscher (1919-1922).
Elizabeth and second husband Norbert Lachmann had one son: Norbert Kesley Lachmann (b. 1933). Norbert was a German national who, like many members of the intelligentsia, fled Germany in the 1930s. He and Elizabeth had wed in Munich and settled in Cincinnati, when shortly before their fifth wedding anniversary, Norbert became ill and died.
Her third husband was Rudolph Reti, a composer, pianist, and musicologist, who was born in what is now the Czech Republic, but then was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. He very likely immigrated to America in the 1930s. Rudolph probably met Elizabeth at Yale University, and they married in 1941. The couple had been married for slightly less than one year when Elizabeth, age 47, died of cancer in New York, New York.
