She was married and divorced and had one daughter, Madison, with whom she was very close. Elizabeth loved animals, especially dogs and horses. As a child, she rode her bicycle to the Blowing Rock Stables daily to ride and take care of her horse. Over the years, she had many pets of all sizes, from great Danes to yorkies. She was an avid sports fan who loved watching football with her Dad where they both had a tendency to be expert commentators.

Although reserved, she was very charismatic and could befriend just about anyone in a single conversation. She was known for her quick wit, her compassion for animals, and her kind spirit. Elizabeth is survived by her daughter, Madison, and her mother, Barbara, and father, Dave, her sister, Meredith, one niece, Summer, and several cousins.
