Elizabeth was born on April 2, 1933, in Cleveland, Ohio, to Edward and Sophie Kupchick. She was raised in North Royalton and moved with her family to Kingman, Arizona, in 1969. In 1987, she relocated to Phoenix, Arizona, and later moved to Grand Junction, Colorado, in October 2013 to retire and be closer to family, where she lived until her passing.
Elizabeth loved her family deeply and was incredibly proud of them. She cherished her memories of weekend travels with friends in Phoenix and enjoyed hearing about the accomplishments of her grandchildren. A proud and self-reliant woman, Elizabeth will be missed by all who knew her.
Elizabeth is preceded in death by her parents, her son Ronald Reader, and her brother Edward O. Kupchick. She is survived by her children, Jack (Macrena) Reader and Cheryl Reader-Benton; 11 grandchildren; 21 great-grandchildren; and 12 great-great-grandchildren.
