They moved to Oregon with then husband and she was blessed with her daughter. They lived there for a brief time before she and her two children moved back to Minot.

Liz was a member of a bowling league with her mother and grandmother in which they attended weekly league nights and won many tournaments.

There was no denying her love and passion for horses. On any given day, after work, you would find her out in the pasture or down in the barn. The barn was her heaven here on earth.
