Elizabeth was very active in the Democratic Party and in numerous quilting groups. She enjoyed quilting, reading, her cats, and discussing politics.

Service NOV 18. 01:00 PM Kiesau-Lee Funeral Home 2500 West Modelle Ave. Clinton, OK, US, 73601 ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ TRIBUTES *We meet though the Brown Bag Book Group in Tucson and being widows we loved to travel together and on our trip to the Grand Canyon with Darlene Wager, we requested the hotel fix the light in our room while we were at dinner. Upon our return to the room as were talking, laughing and about to put the key in the lock - the door opened and a man stepped out having fixed the light. We scared him and he scared us. It all ended in great laughter and we relished telling folks we had a man in our room! Since we have both moved, I have looked forwarded to her visits to Myra here in California. With great fondness for her wonderful daughters, Sidney Thompson - 4 hours ago *Elizabeth was special to me. When I moved to Weatherford in 1990 she was one of the first to welcome me. Her invitation to share in her family's Thanksgiving dinner when I knew so few people in town meant so much to me. I knew her mainly through our work at St. Mark's and in book club. She added so much to both groups--her intelligence and creativity enriched the church and the book group immeasurably. She will be missed.
