Uncover new discoveries and connections today by sharing about people & moments from yesterday.
  • Introduction

    Elizabeth was the most unbelievable Grandma to us. She was a major part of our lives growing up, at all our sports games, school events, and everything in between. I have so many great memories of laughing, shopping, and her very funny sense of humor. She was a stern but excellent mother to Marcia and Michael. She was forced to raise them as a single mother when her husband suddenly passed. She was married to Monroe Purcell, who died long before I arrived but she remained in love with him until she was reunited with him in Heaven. Knitting and crocheting were specialties of hers and we were left with many of her beautiful creations. If she didn't like somebody, they knew it, she was not fake at all. If she liked you, you were golden! This world is a better place because she was in it!
