Elizabeth Huntington Doolittle

Her family then moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico. She attended the University of New Mexico, where she met her fiancé, and earned a Bachelor's degree in Fine arts. She went on to become a talented, award winning artist.

She married her husband, George, on June 4, 1960. In 1965 they moved from Albuquerque to Portland, OR.

She later went back to school at Portland State University and earned a degree in Mechanical engineering. This led to a successful engineering career with Tektronix.

She was a patient and loving wife, mother, and friend. She was active in many art groups such as Buffalo Grass and West Side Artists. She participated in a book club called The Eclectics, as well as Mariner groups at St. Andrews Presbyterian Church and Valley Community Presbyterian Church. She made life long friends in all the groups she was involved in. As her family, and friends can attest, she was not extremely verbose, but when she did have something to say it was either extremely important, or downright hysterical with her dry quick wit. She had a beautiful smile, was extremely creative, had a wonderful sense of curiosity, and was a champion bargain hunter (but not cheap).

She had the opportunity to travel the world. Although she saw many exotic places, France was always her favorite. She and George would often rent a gite in the countryside and seek out scenic spots for romantic afternoon picnics.

She was an avid reader and enjoyed yoga and other activities at the Multnomah Athletic Club where she was a member for 49 years. She was a member of the Cleo's (Cookbook Ladies Eating Out), a member of Kappa Alpha Theta sorority, and took part in many charitable activities, including being a member of the Junior League of Portland, and delivering meals for Meals on Wheels.

She was preceded in death by her father, Charles Marshall Huntington, a Captain in the U.S. Navy, and her mother, Elizabeth MacLaren Huntington.

She is survived by her husband of 60 years, George Leo Doolittle Jr., her son Fred, daughter Andrea, grandchildren Kelsey and Emlyn, and her sister, Chloe "Sandy" Stevenson, and not to be forgotten, her dog Lucy.
