Additionally, she was a poet, photographer, and author. Nature and wildlife were central in her life, and she loved gardening and butterflies, as well as bird watching. Elizabeth taught us to always look for peace in the simple beauty all around us.

Over the years, she lived in Maryland, southern New Hampshire, western Virginia, and the Gulf Coast of Florida. She was grateful for God and she attended the First Baptist Church of Plaistow, New Hampshire for many years, as well as others over the course of her lifetime.
