From Pioneer Rubber Co in the 70s, I remember what a sweet spirit Liz had. She was kind to me. I love knowing that she could yodel and am sorry I missed that. Prayers for your family.

I had the pleasure of working with Elizabeth almost 50 years ago at the Pioneer Balloon Company. She was an excellent employee and would occadionally treat us to a yodeling exhibition in the cafeteria. She was a sweet lady and I am glad to read that she lead such a wonderfully full life. May she rest in peace!

I'm sorry for your loss. I'm one of Elizabeth's night shift aides. Elizabeth always had a smile on her face and I enjoyed spending time if I had it hearing her yodel and when she was able to play her keyboard she'd play me a song. And she loved her chocolate. She has a special place in my heart. 💜

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Great Aunt Elizabeth. She always inspired and encouraged me in music. She is a big part of why I majored I music in college and continue to love to perform music to this day. Her legacy lives on in so many ways. I always loved her life stories and to hear her perform, especially her yodeling! Sadly, I can not make it this Friday. I will be praying for comfort and peace for all who are grieving. With much Love, Stephanie
