Elizabeth was a happy go-lucky child. She loved her friends and sleep-overs. She hated chores that stole time from her friends. She loved to read. She was a loyal and proud sister to brother Mike and sister Sara and very competitive for all the attention she could gather from them, her pet dogs and her loving Mom and Dad. She was an accomplished and awarded cheerleader for many years for Hull Youth Football and Hull High School. She was an athlete participant in Hull Youth Basketball and Softball. She tried but was comically bad. In her words, she said she was "girly bad".... Elizabeth was blessed with physical beauty from birth and an inner beauty that shined even brighter to those that knew her. When shopping with her Mom for her first school clothes at 5 years old, Renee and Liz found a quick off the rack dress and entered Elizabeth in a beauty contest. She won. A beauty queen was born. It led her to Mansfield Beauty School in Quincy, MA where she graduated and started her career as a Free-lance Hair and Makeup Artist and licensed Cosmetologist after. Elizabeth always got attention with her outer beauty. She kept most people's attention with her inner beauty, selfless charm and empathy for others. She had many friends as a result. She was a passionate friend and she sacrificed herself for her friendships. She loved dogs and dogs loved her. She comforted them and they comforted her when she couldn't be anywhere but with them. Especially during her toughest life moments... Drugs found her… Elizabeth died of complications of a drug overdose. She is incredibly missed. She was incredibly loved...

A memorial service honoring Elizabeth's life will be held on Monday, November 16 at 10:00 AM at Saint Mary's Church, Samoset Ave., Hull. Reception to follow at Red Parrot. Contributions in Elizabeth's honor may be made to themeganhouse.org
