Elisabeth will be best remembered for her love of reading and writing, especially poetry. She could always be found with a book and a pen in her hand. Elisabeth loved to write personalized poems for her loved ones and to perform poetry. She was especially proud of getting her book "From England to America" published which features her mother's stories and her own.
Elisabeth will be dearly missed by those blessed to have known her. A small service will be held to celebrate her life.
