Liz was a good friend to me and so many others in high school. She had this laugh that I wont forget.  She was kind,funny,giving and always wanted to help others. I will miss you at our future class reunions, Class of 1975 .Until we see you again sweet friend,  RIP, one of your many classmates.  Love, Marla Frederick Hufton

So many memories. Hitting the beach after graduation; standing with me as my maid of honor…
My heart is broken. I loved Liz so much.
We shared many talks about the love of our lives; our children.
Rest easy my friend. You’ve earned your wings.
Until we meet again.


Morgan and Bryan,
I am so sorry to hear about this.  I loved your mom very much! I haven’t seen her in years but I often thought of her. I will always cherish our times together eating breakfast at  Golden Corral.  She loved her children. She had the best sense of humor and could always put a smile on my face. My heart is shattered and tear’s are flowing . I hope you know Liz how much I loved you.

Liz was a good friend a caring mother and an overall great person. We often spent time talking about our child hoods, sharing deals for shopping and even food preparation tips. I always enjoyed how she would light up when talking about her family. I always loved to hear her laugh. 
May God bless the family and please know Liz will always be in the hearts of all people she shared time with.
Love never dies Liz's spirit is with us forever.

So very sorry to learn of Liz's passing.  I had the opportunity to work (and often laugh) with Liz over the years.  I'm glad that I had the chance to meet Morgan, and hear great things about her and Bryan.  I hope you are both able to find comfort in the memories of your loving mom.  I'm sending you positive energy and light to you and the rest of your family.

Morgan and Bryan, 

I am so sorry to hear that Liz passed. She was a force when I worked in Wake County and could always enjoy a good laugh, too!  We probably drove her crazy so much that I am sure you heard many work stories about us through the years. Liz would light up when talking about her family and fur kids, so I know that you were the highlight of her life. I hope you can find a way to treasure the many memories with your Mom and that they will help you through what I am sure is a very tough time. 

With Sympathy, 

Heather Schaffer 

I am just being informed of this news from my co-worker.  I am so hurt, in disbelief and saddened to receive this news.  I worked very close with Liz and enjoyed her company.  My heart breaks for  her family as she was always talking about them, especialy her kids and grandkids.  She just recently retired and I did not get to see her before she left Wake County.  I will miss her smile and her sense of humor and us talking about the Carolina Panthers games.  My sincere condolences for her former co-workers, family, and friends.  May God comfort everyone during this time.


So sorry to hear of the passing of this sweet dear lady and former colleague.  Liz and I have shared some good conversations.  So sad to hear she has passed.  Sending prayers to the family during this difficult time.

Liz has been a neighbor of ours ever since she moved to Four Oaks and was a very dear friend.  She & Morgan helped us many times when we needed them by caring for our animals when we were away.  Words cannot express our deep sorrow with this situation and pray Liz flies on golden wings to her eternal life above.  Godspeed, Liz.  And to Morgan, we are here for you anytime!!  Prayers for all those that knew and loved Liz during this sad time.

Liz, as we fondly called her at work ( Wake 4-H), shared many stories of  Girl girl with me.  She always perked up when she talked about family and her fur babies. She was a smart strong and caring woman, who will be missed🌹

Morgan and Bryan 
We are deeply hurt by the passing of our Friend and Co Worker (Liz).  Liz always kept us in line with our plans and needs and would not hesitate to assist in times of need, she was a true team worker, family member and advocate for youth and families.
Your family is in our prayers.

So much that can be shared about Liz; how she could wrangle cats and love on puppies, how she could find an off number in a budget, and how she could keep an account compliant.
I also got to know a bit more about her "Real Life." What mattered most to Elizabeth was Brian and Morgan. No matter what the world was tossing at her, she wanted to make certain that they knew they were her 2 loves in life. 'Not always easy - life had given her a few reasons to not pretend to be Polly-Anna (sometimes her name for me).
Today old friend, you sit beside Steve, feeling the ocean breezes,  enjoying a spirit with your little brother and and listening to Stevie Ray Vaughn. Love and Peace ~
