Elizabeth was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Walter J. She loved her children, David (the late Linda), Mark and Kathleen Gardner. She was the proud grandmother of Eric, Sean, Derek and Mathew; and dear sister of the late Albert (Shirley) Paciocco and the late Rudy (Betty) Pace. She is also survived by several nieces and nephews.
Elizabeth loved family and recalling stories and memories her mother and father shared of them growing up in Italy. She shared a rich history with her children and loved to make people laugh and enjoy life. What better way to enjoy life than to cook a wonderful homemade dinner and sit down together to take in special moments from loved ones.
