An avid walker, Liz loved her daily routine of walking from her home to Steiner's Bakery for her favourite coffee and sweets.

daughters, Darlene (Jim), Deb (Evit), Sue
(Barry), and Sandy (Kim). Liz also leaves behind 7 grandchildren, Shawn, Kyle, Jason (Shannon), Melanie (Jonny), Cory, Tyson (Stacy), Brittany (Sean), and 11 great grandchildren.
The family expresses their deepest gratitude to Dr. Rob Sutherland and the Evergreen Seniors Home, and are grateful for their loving and compassionate care they provided to Liz.
There will be no service at Liz's request.
