Elizabeth was born on January 30, 1955 in Glendale, CA to Floyd Dalton and Loretta Davis. She graduated from Placer High School in 1974 and Sierra College in 1999 with a degree in Early Childhood Education. She married Rey Rubio and they had two daughters, Lisa in 1975 and Carol in 1977. They divorced in 1979. She married Timothy Stofleth, her longtime neighbor and partner for life in 1985. She began working for KidZKount as a Teacher’s Aide in 1980 and worked many positions within the agency before retiring as a Human Resources Coordinator in 2015. Her children remember her as a strong, loving, caring, kind, courageous, driven mother who encouraged them to pursue their goals and was always there to catch them when they fell.

Elizabeth was amazing at working with children and families. She also enjoyed doing anything outdoors, crafting, and being with family. She was a generous, dedicated individual who loved people and who was passionate about helping others to be successful. She was an active and dedicated volunteer for the Nevada County Food & Toy Run for the past 24 years and the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention for the past 3 years. She was also very active in her grandchildren’s sports and rarely missed a game.
