She loved to get and give big “bear hugs” from all the kids and always from her young great-nieces and great-nephews. Lizzy loved listening to country gospel and bluegrass music and enjoyed singing along, and tapping her foot as the men picked their guitars. Later in life, she was a sitter for several people in need of the help and she always loved to baby sit her youngest family members.
