A celebration of Elizabeth's life will be announced at a later date.

Elizabeth "Lib" was born and raised in Selma, North Carolina. She spent many years in Raleigh but as a military wife, she traveled extensively. Elizabeth enjoyed her work as a teacher's assistant in Wake and Carteret counties where she impacted numerous young lives. A deeply religious woman, Elizabeth loved the Lord and read her Bible faithfully every day.

In her free time, Elizabeth loved being in her garden, planting, nurturing, and sharing the harvest it produced. She also enjoyed jigsaw puzzles and good southern home cooking (and, of course, anything chocolate).
