A New Jersey native, Liz was a lover of music and learning. She earned an undergraduate degree in music from Elizabeth College and a graduate degree in library science from Rutgers University.

She sang in several choirs, including the National Philharmonic Chorale in Bethesda, Maryland. She cherished memories of a choral performance in Carnegie Hall. Liz most recently sang with Musical Union, one of the nation’s oldest continuing chorale traditions, based in Oberlin, Ohio.
