Mrs. Myers graduated from Alameda High School, Class of 1935, and attended college at University of California, Berkeley. On March 15, 1942, Elizabeth married Lee Andrew Myers in Alameda. Shortly thereafter, Lee entered the Army, and while he was away, Elizabeth contributed to the war effort by working at Bethlehem Steel in the Bay Area. After the war, Lee and Elizabeth settled down and started a family. Elizabeth was very active in her children's lives, serving as PTA president for several terms. She was active in 4-H club and enjoyed being the official "Swim Team Mom." She was also a secretary for the UC Davis Farm and Home Advisors Office for 25 years. While in Red Bluff, Elizabeth was an active member at St. Peter's Episcopal Church, and when she came to Lodi in 1992, found a new church home at First United Methodist Church where she became involved with the United Methodist Women's Group and the Warm Hearts Senior Group. Elizabeth cherished her family and was a wonderful hostess for many large family dinners and gatherings.
