Elizabeth, also known as Bette, loved her family which includes her old Wauwatosa neighbors and she also loved gardening, books about exploration and mountain climbing, cooking, practical jokes and all things French. Throughout her long life, Elizabeth who was a master of the lost art of letter writing corresponded with hundreds of people and touched their lives with her kindness, humor and unique perspective.
