Remembering Elizabeth Breon, 1954-2017
What do I think of when I recall Liz? 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.
