Obituaries

What a shock to find your obituary today. Liz and I worked together at Woodward State Hospital forty one years ago. You are pretty much unforgettable Liz. I remember your smile and laughter, your quick wit, and your excellent work ethic. I always hoped you'd find the love you deserved. I'm so sorry our paths never crossed again, though I wondered about you through the years. My sincere condolences to your family.

An Angel came into your lives to brighten the day. She has been called back to Heaven. Remember the good times and her sweet smile. A prayer said.

Jared, to you and your family. You remain in my prayers, asking for your strength and comfort. May you find healing and peace in your memories of Liz. Sending love to you all.

I had the pleasure of hiring Liz as my personal secretary at Polk County DHS. She was not only a pleasure to work with but someone whose honesty and trust I never needed to question. I have to believe she projected those qualities elsewhere. At any rate those qualities are rare enough and on top of that Liz was just an interesting character such as with her sometimes unedited interactions. I regret her passing and as with others who provide value to the rest of us she will be missed. My condolences to her family.

Kathie, Mary Pat and I are so sorry to hear about Liz. She was such a wonderful and amazing person. We all were so lucky to have known her. Sending you all extra hugs and love . We hope to see you sometime soon- when this COVID is all over. Until then, please know we are here for all of you. God Bless you all , and know Liz is with the Lord and at peace.

Sending our thoughts and prayers fir all of the family of Liz. May God give you peace and comfort. Liz will always be in your hearts and May her memory inspire all.

Adam - so sorry to hear of this. I learned a lot working with your Mom. She was a good, kind, fun person and will be missed dearly. Take care of yourself and stay well. - Julie Jones

I was lucky enough to get to know Liz through work. She was an incredible person, who always made each day a bit brighter. Blessings and prayers to her Family.

So sorry for your loss. You have our sympathy. Our thoughts are with you.

I was saddened to learn about Liz's passing. She was a beautiful person inside and out. As a former Perry High teacher, I can attest to the fact that she raised a fine family. My condolences.

Liz was a great friend to me when I started working at Woodward and then in Des Moines for DHS. We talked everyday at work. She was a hard worker and always made the job a lot of fun when it wasn't. She was an important part of every day. I will miss her dearly. She was a true friend.

Jared and family, wishing you all peace and comfort during this difficult time. Thinking of you.
