Elizabeth is the surrogate daughter to John and Kathleen; surrogate sister to April (Steven); surrogate aunt to Ellyjah, Abygail, Makenzy and Addyson.
She was cared for by many wonderful people at the group homes she lived at, in Oakfield and Batavia. She loved attending The Arc in Batavia, where she had many friends and was cared for by great staff. In honor of Elizabeth’s love for Minnie Mouse, the family is requesting that you wear pink, red, black, and white to her service.
