Liz had the good fortune to meet the love of her life William Farrell at a friends wedding reception and before long William and Liz moved to Utah and were married. Liz never met a stranger, she was a true friend to everyone she met. She was filled with compassion and love for all people no natter their station in life. She was engaging with people and could make any dull day brighter if you happened along and into her presence.

She loved the vegetable gardens that her husband Bill would plant each year and his rose bushes. She was a lover of photography and would take pictures of wild life and flowers every chance she got. Liz and Bill were most fortunate to have two beautiful daughters. Alexandra and Tiffany who brought them the greatest joy of their life. They camped together and enjoyed picnics and Sunday drives. Her devotion to her girls was unparalleled, she was a stay at home mother and never missed an event, she walked them to the Orem library and also spent countless hours with them at the BYU library.
