She was a member of Bethlehem Cumberland Presbyterian Church. She worked for Salant & Salant and Obion Denton in Union City. She retired in the late ’80s.

She raised African Violets, day lilies and orchids up until her final days.
Elizabeth is survived by her daughter, Michelle Guess Ursery; and her grandson, Addison Ursery and his wife, Ashli Mensi Ursery. She also has a great-granddaughter due to arrive late April. Though she will not get to see her in this life, she will definitely be able to watch over her from heaven.
