She had a successful career managing a local Credit Union and later worked for SGS Tool in their International Sales division.

Upon retirement, she enjoyed volunteering with friends at Blossom Music Center for the Cleveland Orchestra concerts, Akron Zips football games, and even track meets. Elisabeth was an avid bridge player, stayed active with water aerobics, yoga, and walked local hiking trails. Elisabeth was also an expert gardener and learned to refinish all kinds of furniture for her family to enjoy. A true foodie to the core, she loved to try new restaurants and cook new foods at home. She and her daughter travelled the world together and were fortunate to attend 3 Grand Slam tennis tournaments. More recently she enjoyed travelling out West with her children to Santa Fe, New Mexico and Palm Springs, CA. Elisabeth was always ready for a new adventure and truly had a positive attitude towards life. The family would like to thank the amazing doctors and nurses at the OSU James Cancer Center, her caregivers at Ohio Living Westminster Thurber, Hospice of Central Ohio, along with many friends around the world who provided her comfort and support.
