Elizabeth could certainly be considered a pioneer in the "work from home" field. Liz conducted her behind the scenes management of the family fishing business by telephone, juggling baking & church activities, all while tending a very active Rebecca. Over the years, Elizabeth’s voice was well known contributor to the VHF radio. During the 1960’s, 70’s, 80’s, Liz knew where every purse seine boat in the Bay of Fundy was, pretty much at all times during seining season.
Elizabeth’s kitchen talents were well known. Liz spent many of her days & nights, by baking large quantities of baked goodies, preserves and decorating cakes, as well as, cooking & hosting large meals for family, friends and helping with multiple church functions over the years. "Auntie" Elizabeth never missed a family birthday, or any other special occasion and thought very highly, proudly of her grandsons, nieces & nephews. Her table was was a mecca for friends and family from away…
Elizabeth’s last few years were spent at the Grand Manan Nursing Home. Special thanks to the entire staff of the nursing home for extending EXTRA above & beyond LOVE, special care and wonderful treatment of ‘Lizzo’. Your kindnesses and understanding will not be forgotten.
