Elizabeth L Delionback

Mrs. Elizabeth (Betsy) Carter Lipford Delionback died peacefully on Wednesday, September 27, 2023. Mrs. Delionback was born in Raleigh, North Carolina, where she spent her formative years. Upon graduation from the St. Mary's School for girls, she attended St. Mary's Junior College in Raleigh, North Carolina. After marriage and a short time on the coast of South Carolina, she and her family lived in southeast Florida for many years before the desire to be close to beloved grandchildren brought her and her husband to Birmingham, Alabama. She enjoyed many friendships and opportunities in Birmingham through her PEO group, Fisherman's Sunday School Class at Bluff Park United Methodist Church, her grandchildren's schools, bridge groups, and others. She demonstrated concern and care for others through her thoughtful actions each day.

Mrs. Delionback is survived by her daughter, Dr. Elizabeth D. Ennis (Dr. David M.
