With an education in civil service management, Elizabeth dedicated her career as a budget specialist at Robins Air Force Base in Warner Robins, GA. Her commitment and diligence earned her respect and admiration from her colleagues. Throughout her life, Elizabeth was known for her kindness and her deep love for her family, providing wisdom and support to her extensive family network. Elizabeth's gentle and nurturing spirit was reflected in her extraordinary culinary skills; she was celebrated for being a great southern cook. She was able to convey her love and warmth through every dish she prepared, often bringing joy to those who sat around her table. Her commitment to her family was profound, and she found immense joy in engaging with her loved ones, always displaying generosity and care.

Her resourcefulness and artistry extended beyond the material; it spoke to her ability to find magic in the everyday and joy in simple pleasures.

Beyond her talents, Elizabeth was an avid fan of the Atlanta Braves and could often be found cheering passionately for her team. Television brought her additional joy, as evident in her love for watching "NCIS." and The Resident.  Another of her beloved past times was listening to the timeless melodies of Conway Twitty, a favorite musician whose songs would often drift through her home. Equally important was her deep faith, nurtured through regular scripture reading, which provided her with sustenance and guidance throughout her life.
