For several years Elizabeth worked part time as a nurse at UH of Cleveland and then volunteered at Booth Memorial Hospital. She sang in the church choir and was a member of the Lydia church women's group. She cooked, sewed clothes for her children, knitted sweaters, hats and mittens, planted beautiful flower gardens and prepared wonderful Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas celebrations for the family. Some of the most memorable times were family camping trips each summer to visit family and national parks and historic sites around the country.
