Elizabeth Anne McFadden

Elizabeth Anne McFadden, 59, died on October 12, 2026. Born October 19, 1966, in Cincinnati, Ohio, Elizabeth was the daughter of Marianne and Christopher Truss. She later made her home in Lexington, South Carolina, where she will be remembered with deep respect and enduring affection.

A graduate of Mariemont High School, Elizabeth attended the University of Cincinnati and ultimately built a distinguished career as a paralegal. For more than 25 years, she worked in family law, primarily with Andrews & Shull, P.A. In a field that asks for both steadiness and compassion, Elizabeth brought a quiet generosity of spirit, a genuine kindness toward others, and a witty sense of humor that could lighten even the most difficult moments.

Elizabeth found joy in the everyday pleasures that make a life rich: reading, movies, swimming, listening to music, and—most of all—time spent with friends and family. She also loved her many cats and dogs through the years with all of her heart, offering them the same tender care that so naturally marked the way she moved through the world.

Elizabeth is survived by her husband, Michael McFadden; mother Marianne Dougherty; sister Emily Jones and her husband Scott; half brothers Cameron and Connor Truss; stepson Jim McFadden; uncles Mark Bauer (DeDe), Michael Bauer (Kyra), and Steve Truss (Bev); as well as numerous cousins and countless friends.
