She was preceded in death by her husband: Willie Lawrence Jr., her siblings: Diane, Thelma, Melvin, Emmitt, and Kerry.

Liz's life was deeply rooted in family, hard work, and faith in the Belle Glade community where she grew up. She was a proud graduate of Glades Central High School Class of 1976. Liz was also a dedicated and hardworking woman. She was employed by A. Duda & Sons, where she faithfully worked before later continuing her career with the Palm Beach County School District. After many years of dedicated service, Liz retired from the school district, leaving behind a legacy of commitment and a strong work ethic. Although she understood the value of hard work, she also knew how to enjoy the simple pleasures of life; going fishing, making her famous homemade biscuit, family gathering, playing softball, pokeno, going to church, and eating blue crabs, these were moments that brought her happiness and became part of the memories her family will always cherish.

Faith was also an important part of Elizabeth’s life. She was a member of Mt. Calvary Missionary Baptist Church under the leadership of Pastor Lionel F. Camel for many years, until she later transferred her membership to New Life Tabernacle of Belle Glade under the leadership of Pastor Otis Garmon. During her time at New Life Tabernacle, She was baptized in Jesus name and filled with the precious gift of the Holy Ghost. She continued faithfully in worship and fellowship at New Life Tabernacle until the Lord called her home.
