Born on March 21, 1947, in Columbus, she lived a life full of warmth and joy, touching the lives of many with her outgoing and bubbly spirit.

Liz is also lovingly remembered by her sister Patty Frankford and niece Lisa (Paul) Naylor. Her great nieces, Susan Hess and Jamie Hess, along with her great nephew William Hess, and great great niece Willow Chambers, hold her memory dear. She also leaves behind brothers-in-law Don (Adele) Vincent, Charlie (Karen) Vincent, Paul Vincent, Thomas (Denise) Vincent, Matt (Kellie) Vincent, and Mark Vincent.

Elizabeth was preceded in death by her beloved parents, Richard and Ruth (Reddy) Fordyce; her sister Vickie Lamb; brother-in-law William Frankford; brothers-in-law David Vincent and Monroe Vincent; and sister-in-law Sharon Turner.

Liz’s life was marked by her love for family, her faith, and her joyful spirit. She will be deeply missed but fondly remembered by all who had the pleasure to know her.
