She moved to Hastings when her father was appointed, the Under Sheriff of Barry County. She graduated from High School in 1943, her dream of art school was never fulfilled because of World War II.

God blessed them with five children, twins, Julia (Terry) Greenfield, Jane (Dennis) Webb, daughter, Mary (Mark) Dunnigan, sons, Donald and Richard Nevins and grandchildren, Emily, Peter, Ty, Jon, Jackie, Matthew, Martha (Dan) Hooten, Richard, Ryan and Allyson, and great-grandchildren, Olivia, Logan, Adriana, step-grandchildren, Kacy, Danny and Hunter.

Liz was past President and long time member of the Hastings High School Alumni Association, and past President and long time member of the Elks Vivians. She volunteered for the United Way and during the 40's she volunteered as a Red Cross Nurses Aid on weekends and after school at Pennock Hospital.
Liz tried very hard to live by the belief, "We were given two hands and a full and loving heart to care for our loved ones and to care and befriend others". She was blessed to have many loving friends and family.
Liz was a loving wife, mother, grandmother and friend to many. She will be missed by all who knew her.
Respecting Liz's wishes, cremation will take place and a Memorial Service will be announced and held in the Spring.
