Elizabeth was a special lady, and I will miss her. Besides being my cousin and part of my family, we played bridge often during the summer months. My sincere condolences to Mary Jean and Don, Carolyn, Sarah, David and Burr and Don Kaufman. Dorothy Zehner (Ft. Myers, FL)

I've known Elizabeth all my life. We went to the same church, went to college together and were in Beta Sig's together. We were in the Evansville College choir and Elizabeth, myself and our sisters sang in a barber shop quartet. We always had fun.
My sincere condolences to Carolyn, Mary Jean and Don, Don Kaufman, Sarah, David and Harvey, Jr.
Elizabeth will be missed and I know the Beta Sig's will miss her at their quarterly meetings.
I'm sorry I cannot be at Elizabeth's calling hours or funeral. I will be thinking of the family.

My condolences to all of the family. I know she will be missed by many, but now will be able to share GSUSA stories with my mom, Kay. We also shared our Zeta sisterhood. My prayers are with you all.

I'll always remember Elizabeth as a faithful and devoted member of two search committees of St. Lucas Church. She was so friendly in her relationships and thorough and dependable in her work. The Lockwood quartet was an inspiration to me. Please know that my prayers are with you in this difficult time and great loss.
