Liz was born in Niagara Falls, N.Y. on Aug. 9, 1956. She grew up in Fairmont, W.V., moved to Charleston in 1980, and had lived on James Island since 1990. She worked for several years in the office of Harborview Elementary School and is fondly remembered by many of the former students and teachers there. Most recently Liz was employed at Hyams Garden and Accent Store, where her excellent taste, love of decorating, and winning personality was a great asset. She loved her work, especially at Christmas, her favorite time of year. Liz was a loving mother and wife, and will always be remembered by family and friends for her wit, intelligence, and utter devotion to those she loved.
