History
Elizabeth was the mother of three children and grandmother of five grandchildren. After passing away in 2018 from pancreatic cancer, her family wanted to honor her love and legacy in a way that kept her spirit alive. She was a kind and charitable woman who always helped those around her, even when she couldn’t afford to do so. She always provided food for the hungry and shelter for those who had nowhere else to turn. So, her family decided to open a charity in the city where she lived and was baptized, continuing her legacy of helping the less fortunate and keeping alive the spirit of kindness that she embodied.
