Her artistic flare also spread to her talent with ceramics that she also sold at shows. Elizabeth also enjoyed her golden years as an avid bowler. She was a member of Monday Morning Stars, Dover Bowl and Wednesday Seniors. Her love for the sport lead her to participate in the Senior Olympics for several years running and gave her the opportunity to do some much loved traveling.
