In her younger years she was a popular cheerleader and softball player at Maplewood High School and then embarked on a career of being a wife, mother and homemaker.

In 2005, Liz moved to Irmo, South Carolina where she enjoyed the “senior” life which included participating in bowling leagues (where she bowled several 200 games and 500 series and was on the league championship team), twice weekly card playing (with good friends, Gladys, Gerry, Jim, Geraldine, Kurt and Jan) and competing in the local senior Sports Games (she was proud of those gold medals in bocce, badminton, basketball, bowling, cornhole and horseshoes). She also enjoyed both jigsaw and crossword puzzles, bingo, garage sales and most of all playing the slot machines at casinos. This included casinos in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Cherokee North Carolina and trips to both Las Vegas and Biloxi.
