Liz’s favorite activities involved crafting, knitting, crocheting, circle word puzzles, and volunteering.
She was an icon in the Clayton community and there was nothing she enjoyed more that socializing wherever she was. Liz could have an engaging conversation with anyone and all who came to know her, loved her.
Liz also dedicated her time as a lifelong member of the Clayton Volunteer Fire Department Ladies Auxiliary. She could be found in the kitchen cooking, or anywhere because she was always available to help at a moment’s notice.
She worked for the 1000 Islands School for many years as a Cafeteria Manager. During her time there she made sure no student when unfed or hungry. The students adored her, even referring to her as grandma in her later years.

She will be missed by all.
