A lovely tribute to a wonderful person and teacher! Elizabeth had a very special knack of connecting with young people and inspired and guided many of them into a more successful life as adults. While she will be greatly missed by those who knew and loved her, her legacy will be carried on by those whose lives she touched.

OMG!!! Elizabeth is still 40 to me. Park Street neighbors everyone shared politics, partied til police came, and watched over everyone! I am shocked to tears to hear of her passing. She worked with students that the school had given up on and encouraged them!
May peace be with you.
Sincerely,
Sandy

Sending a fond aloha to my beautiful cousin who I haven’t seen in many years. As a young boy I would look forward to my summers on Peaks Island , Maine if I knew that my cousins Carol and Elizabeth would be there as well. Their grandparents, my uncle Murray and Aunt Elsie were like grandparents to me as well. I have so many memories. I can’t believe that Elizabeth is gone.
