Deeply saddened by Elizabeth passing. My sincerest condolences to the family.
Dear Mary and Margie,
Please accept our deepest sympathy on Betty passing. We all remember her Love on us and great memory we have on her. Betty is now with our Lord in Haven. Take care God Bless you Mary and Margie always.
Love,
Greg, Tina and all the Pua family.
I, personally, but so many of our mutual friends also, will sorely miss Liz. She was the reasoned voice of logic and history
among the other voices of at times emotion. She brought us down to earth with her comments, often humorous but
always with good humor.
Betty Becker, colleague and friend from CLC
Liz will be missed by all the people and students whose lives she touched.
Our deepest condolences to Margie and Mary.
Bill Ballock and I are very saddened to learn of Liz’s passing. She was one of the CLC “originals” who in Fall 1969 made the College the outstanding institution it would become.
Liz really personified joie de vivre in all aspects of her life. She translated her depth of knowledge into enthusiastic, brilliant and funny lectures. We loved taking her continuing education classes once we all retired.
Best of all, she was a dear friend (and good tenant!). Liz made a positive difference on this eart.
Miss. Pirman was my history teacher at Crown HS 1966. She was a brilliant teacher! More than history, she taught me how to think and interpret events. Ihave know idea why I just now googled her name. Little did I know I would discover this years after her passing!
