We are so sad to learn of Elizabeth´s death and send our deepest sympathies and love from her family in Thurso. We have many lovely memories of Elizabeth staying with our Granny, her Auntie Clare. I kept in touch with Elizabeth on Messenger and often sent her clips of Thurso beach (where my Granny lived) and she loved to see these. Thinking of you all

Elizabeth has been a deeply respected teacher and celebrant in New Zealand, and her contributions to the Celebrants Association of Aotearoa as a past president have been deeply valued. Celebrant work takes a lot of time and energy, and I personally wish to extend my deepest sympathy and gratitude to Elizabeth's family. I am so sorry that Elizabeth died suddenly and unexpectedly. I am so sorry for your loss. Additionally, thank you so much for sharing Elizabeth with us. She is loved.
Rest in Peace and Love dear Elizabeth. x

Elizabethwas one of life's most wonderful women. She always had time for a chat, and had something worthwhile to say. She had joined a group of celebrants who meet monthly,and although she often could not attend dies to her funeral work commitments, when she did come we enjoyed her contributions our conversation. Personally I had huge respect for her, and it takes a very special person to do the funeral work she did. She brought a lot of comfort to many families, and her loss to the celebrant community is enormous.
As a celebrant colleague, I'm deeply saddened and shocked, and thinking of her husband who must be in deep shock at this saddest of times.
