Elizabeth will be remembered as a sweet and loveable woman.  A graduate of Spencerville High School, she was a member of the school band.  Upon completing business college, she began a rewarding career as a secretary in various businesses.  She was a dedicated worker, proud of the work she did in bakeries, flower shops, and business offices.  In her free time Elizabeth enjoyed bowling and traveling, both across the United States and to other countries.  She loved planning parties!  Parties allowed her to be with her beloved family and take part in her favorite hobby, cooking!  Elizabeth's greatest treasures were those she loved deeply, she truly was the family glue, holding everyone together.

There will be no public services and Elizabeth will be cremated according to her wishes. Her cremated remains will be buried in Fairmount Cemetery, Uniopolis, at a later date.  In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorial contributions be made in her memory to either The National Kidney Foundation, American Heart Association, or the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.  The family has entrusted Schlosser Funeral Home & Cremation Services, Wapakoneta, to handle the arrangements.
