Elizabeth and I have shared many special moments together over the years beginning at the Fairfield University RecPlex as swimming buddies. She was quite a character! I enjoyed visiting her home and garden. She had such a knack for growing the most beautiful roses and black-eyed Suzies. Of course, her tomatoes were spectacular too. She certainly had a green thumb. Having been born in Austria, Elizabeth would recount the most interesting stories about growing up in Europe and then coming to America. She was proud of her heritage and family. Edelweiss, a sign of “courage, bravery and love”, will always bring me warm thoughts of Elizabeth. My deepest condolences to Dushan, Sonja and Alissa for the loss of their mother and grandmother. May she Rest In Peace. Sincerely, Eleanor Burke
