Elizabeth had a way of bringing lightness and joy wherever she went, with her gentle humour and kind heart. Family meant everything to her, and she showed her love in so many thoughtful ways, always giving, always caring. 

There was a warmth about her that made people feel welcome and valued, and even strangers were drawn to her. 

I feel very lucky to have known this 'wee woman'. She will be remembered with love and missed beyond words.

My granny was one of a kind, warm, strong-willed, and full of love, with a heart of gold. She had a way of making people feel at home, and you always felt better just being around her.

I spent a lot of time with her growing up, staying over and sharing the simple things that mean the most now—sitting watching funny movies together and having a proper laugh. Those are the memories I’ll always carry with me.

She was generous in every way, always making sure you were alright and never letting you go without. And if you were heading out, she’d make sure you had a few pound in your pocket—it was just her way. "Ka-ching"

She was also a wonderful-great granny, and she loved her family deeply. That same warmth and care she gave to everyone was something she passed down through the generations.

She left her mark on everyone who knew her, and I’ll always be thankful for the time I had with her. She’ll be sorely missed and never forgotten.

God called your name so softly that only you could hear, and no one heard the footsteps of the angels drawing near. It broke our hearts to lose you but you did not go alone, for part of us went with you the day god called you home.
