She was a strong Christian women who enjoyed her church family, wherever she was currently residing. She was very social and loved being with people, especially her family. Goodbyes were definitely not one of her favorite things. Her door was always open for visitors and a cup of coffee. She enjoyed knitting, crocheting, traveling, reading, playing pinochle, and especially the outdoors. In fact, when she had the chance after work, she would take David and Aaron, when they were young, and hike in the dark with flashlights. Elizabeth often offered hiking excursions as gifts for holidays. She also loved the Arizona desert. Her love of the desert developed from her annual trips to Arizona for baseball Spring training with Clarence. After she retired, she moved to Arizona and made many friends. Due to health concerns, she eventually moved back to Washington and settled on Camano Island for the last 5 years.
