L. Elizabeth Thomas Obituary (1940 - 2014)

L. Elizabeth Thomas passed away on Saturday, December 13, 2014 at her home in Kearns. She was a sweet, caring and thoughtful person who experienced many health problems during her life, but who never complained and met each medical challenge bravely. Elizabeth was born July 21, 1940 in Idaho Falls, Idaho to Linden N. and Effel Marie Jensen Thomas. As her father moved often with his various jobs, she grew up in several cities in Idaho and California. She graduated from Blackfoot High School after which she worked for a while in Yellowstone Park. While there, her Mother passed away in 1958. A few months later, she came to Salt Lake City to live and work. She later found employment at Hill AFB, where she worked until her retirement. She loved the outdoors and made several camping trips throughout Utah, especially to collect rocks, geodes and other minerals and stones to make jewelry, belt buckles, etc. for friends and family. Two brothers preceded her in death, Marvin (Beverlee), and Ross (Barbara). Elizabeth is survived by three brothers, Darwin (Doris), Pascagoula, Miss; Keith (Roxie), Loa, Mont; Delbert (Janet), Salt Lake City; and several nephews and nieces. She is also survived by her "adopted" daughter, and caregiver, Catherine Harrison and her daughter, Amberlee who loved Elizabeth very much. They provided loving care to Elizabeth during her medical challenges these past few years. Cathy's commitment to provide this quality and loving care to Elizabeth during these difficult times is truly appreciated by the Thomas family. Funeral Home: Jenkins-Soffe Mortuary-Murray 4760 So.
