Through her unwavering commitment, she rose to the title of Coordinator, enriching countless lives along the way.

In addition, she is survived by her brothers Charles and Grace Shea of Levittown, PA, and Dennis and Nancy Shea of Media, PA, and her sister Rose Marie Seekamp of Oakland Park, FL. Elizabeth's heart held space for many nieces and nephews who will remember her loving spirit.
