Her love for music was deeply rooted in the Blues, the rhythm and soul of which echoed in the vibrant essence of her everyday life. She was spirited and always eager to share her love for music with those around her. Liz found immense joy in spending time with her beloved granddaughter, Hayli, and her niece, Lainey. Their shared laughter and memories will forever echo in the hearts of those they touched.
