Her vibrancy, living her life with enthusiasm and zest, her many talents, her creativity and most of all, her big, generous heart. She had so many talents it must have been confusing at times for her. She could play the harp and piano, one of her last projects was making a silk quilt, she gardened, was a fi ne painter, also an excellent carpenter, designed and repaired jewelry, became a gemologist, and owned and ran a jewelry store. When living in Alaska, she fl ew airplanes. More than one of her acquaintances ran short of money and Liz would make sure they had food. She was a devoted Christian, and true to her faith, she fed the hungry, and cared for the sick. Th e writer can attest to the latter. She was always good for a donation to worthy causes and never lost her robust sense of humor. Th is city will miss Elizabeth Breon, our friend liz.
