After a brief courtship, Liz and Willie were married on March 1, 1958. They were married for a total of 52 years.

Anthony was Liz’s only biological child. However, she also raised a special niece, Norkitta. Years later she helped raise Devontae Sr., Devontae Jr., Shamanique, Kevontae, Vershawn, and twins Michael Leone and Leone Michael. Family was very important to Liz!

Liz worked a few different jobs in her life. Liz was a waitress at the Manner’s Big Boy. She worked as a seamstress for Bobbie Brooks. She also worked 18 years at the Cleveland Clinic as a Ward Secretary and from there she retired.

Liz accepted Christ at an early age and continued serving the Lord throughout her adulthood.
