Katie, and Eric; Jeannine (Brad) Lozinski and children Justin, and Stephanie; twenty three great- grandchildren; three great-great-grandchildren; sister Eve McCreesh: and Brother John Deck. Elizabeth was an earth Angel. Truly fitting words to describe a woman who spent her entire life devoted to her family and helped anyone in need that came her way. She was kind beyond words and made the world a better place for all whose lives she touched. When mom closed her eyes and soared into heavens, one could almost hear the faint flutter of her wings as she left. Back into the arms of her greatest love, Andrew. Their love story continues.
