We loved knowing and worshipping with Elizabeth. Her quiet strength was always an encouragement to us. That and her ability to accept her challenges, such a credit to God's grace! Rich and Danna
Dear Family and Friends of Elizabeth or as we called her "Madam Vice-President", " Why Madam Vice-President" she was Vic-President of the Residence Council at the Douglas Care Center, where she helped conduct council meetings and presented Employee of the Month awards. While visiting my father, it was always a pleasure to stop and visit her either in the dining room, playing cards with my dad or in the hall working puzzles. Elizabeth always had a positive view on life. Her kind and caring ways at the home always preceded her own wants and needs. It was very apparent through her demeanor and words that God was number one in her life .She will be missed greatly by her Douglas Care Center family and those that visited their own family. For those of you that don't know Elizabeth, besides a family portrait puzzle her favorite puzzles included pigs, cats, and dogs that she enjoyed completing and were hung in her living area. Her calm, caring demeanor will be missed by all those that knew her. To those reading these few words about Elizabeth, she has set an example for us all to follow in life. Elizabeth you are with the Angels now. Love, Thoughts, and Prayers for you and your family. John J., Tom & Renee' Miller.
My family and I can't Thank You enough for the kind words and condolences for my mama. We appreciate all the time you stopped and visited (and teased) with her. With fondness, The Pulvers
