Liz and John chose Tillsonburg as the place to live, raise her new sons and become John’s business partner. Liz enjoyed her many years of singing with the Seniors Choir and St. Paul’s Christmas Concerto Choir. The games of bridge with her girlfriends were something she looked forward to- there was lots of laughter and she always had a good time. Liz loved to take in her grandson’s hockey and baseball games and cheering for the Leaf’s and Blue Jays. Liz served as Chair of Oxford Community Foundation, President of Tillsonburg Curling Club – Women’s Curling, was an active Lifetime Member of TDMH Auxiliary, Lifetime Member of St. Mary’s Catholic Women’s League, and a past member of the Kinette Club. Liz served on the Board of Children Family Services of Oxford, and for many years was a dedicated blood donor. Liz enjoyed her time with the Ontario Trillium Grant Advisory Board. Liz supported many organizations in Tillsonburg and throughout Oxford County in many different capacities.
Liz enjoyed her golfing days, loved the many places throughout the world her and John shared together over many years. Time spent in Florida was another favorite. Lots of golf, friendship and of course lots of great restaurants. So many memories!
Liz was a very special and giving person. She was so happy to be close to her mother in Simcoe upon learning her new family was headed to Tillsonburg to operate their new McDonald’s business. Liz worked the McDonald’s business and together met many new friends, not only in Tillsonburg but throughout Canada.
