Elisabeth Gilmore, nee Becker, passed away peacefully on November 20, 2007 in Lakeway, Texas. She was born on July 13, 1924 in Kassel, Germany. Married Msgt. J. K. Gilmore of Watson, Arkansas and both traveled extensively with the U. S. Army until retiring in Dixon and Rolla, Missouri. Betty was preceded in death by her sisters, Annelise and Katja. She is survived by her son and wife, Timm and Sharon Gilmore of Lakeway; granddaughters, Jennifer Adamo and Allison Gilmore of San Antonio and Phoenix, respectively, great grandsons, Jackson and Evan; niece, Brigitte Dillard of McLean, Virginia; nephew, Hans Herbert Richter of Nurnberg, Germany. Although Betty’s teen years were lost to WWII, she enjoyed a full and blessed life afterwards with Christ as her savior. She was active in church and was a very giving and supportive person, especially to those less fortunate. She was blessed with many friends both at the Rolla Church of the Nazarene and Wellington Place Retirement Community. A special Thank you Klein, Bernice, Arlene, Lucille and Billy, Donna, and so many more, for your friendship and support, throughout her illness. Betty attended the Lakeway church during her short stay in Austin. This was her spiritual home here. A special thanks to the staff of Vista Oaks assisted living of Lakeway for their attentive, caring, professional services. Also, thank you to the wonderful care the staff of Odyssey Hospice provided. Their services helped so much in easing Betty’s transition. She is home. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to Billy Graham ministries or Girls Town and Boys Town.
