In 1959, Lizzie graduated from Hungerford Consolidated High School. After graduation, she moved to California to pursue her ambitions.

Her favorite scripture is Psalms 27:1 “The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life: of whom shall I be afraid?”. She served faithfully as an usher until her death.
