I am here son Elliot. Aotho she had me at 19 she loved that's one of the little things I do remember. I don't remember many things about my mom but I do remember that she was smart, funny, and loved by  so many people. It made me so happy to see evonne at the serverest. I still miss here and I will miss her.

From Elliot her son

Last night I looked you up on Facebook thinking about our interactions and memories at the Science Spectrum. As fellow feminists, we’ve reached a point of urgency, and I was disturbed and saddened to see you are not here to hold me to be the best man I can be and change the world for the better. I feel bad for not reaching out since my our last messages in 2018. Then again, this is common amongst late stage capitalism that we would seek to dismantle. Nevertheless, even in your absence, you are still someone who’s wanted, needed, and now missed.

Elizabeth with here Great Grandma Shelton.

Elizabeth was such a wonderful niece. She was funny, smart and so artistically talented. I loved her so much and will miss her every day.

I loved Elizabeth!!! She was quiet and thoughtful. She was such a special little girl!!! I loved having her in class. She made me so happy to see and visit with her whenever I could!!! I loved this little girl!!! 

Love,

My memories of Elizabeth are of her as a child.  When she was in Sunday School or Mission Friends at First Baptist Church she was both kind and smart.  I remember her having the best questions as we studied missionaries from all over the world.  I also remember her being such a help to her mom as she served in volunteer roles, helping with VBS etc.  She led others at a young age by example.  She followed rules, worked hard, and made time to listen to others.  She was a jewel.

Lizzie and I shared the same friend group in junior high and highschool. We ate lunch together, walked around the school together, and met up in the mornings at the same round table of friends. I remember her as kind, quiet, but so incredibly sharp witted and creative. Over the years we stopped talking but we’d occasionally like a post on each other’s Facebook during major life events, celebrating motherhood and art. She was an amazing individual and she will sorely missed. 

She was both the angel and devil on my shoulder because what mattered most was having fun together. She was nonjudgmental and kind to me and everyone she encountered, which I deeply appreciate. I've always admired her strong sense of self and ambition because choosing a life dedicated to your art is far more authentic than any other life. I miss you Lizzie ❤️

Lizzie was an amazing friend. I met her in 5th grade at Murfee. She was an incredible artist and we really bonded over our passion for creating as we grew up. We always liked to say we’d be talented old ladies together. I’m so happy to have some of Lizzie’s artwork, it’s something I’ll cherish forever. Lizzie had a big heart. She was so kind and funny and never shied away from being exactly who she was. I will always carry so much love and admiration for her in my heart.

I met Elizabeth when we both worked as jewelers apprentices. I had never met her before despite going to LHS at the same time and we even had some mutual friends so we clicked right away. There were times at work where I felt like the odd man out but Elizabeth always made sure that I knew she was in my corner and I was so grateful for that. She also made the most delicious chickpeas I have ever tasted in my life. Elizabeth was a talented artist and a wonderful friend who will be greatly missed. 

Elizabeth was an amazing artist, friend, and mother. I remember meeting her in my high school art classes with Mrs. Aune. We grew to be closer friends in college when we took more art classes together; surviving drawing II with Stacy Elko together was amazing. My love goes out to her mother, brother Mason, and son Elliott.
