Elizabeth Fern Allphin Oliphant

We will miss you!

We will miss you aunt Elizabeth. Thank you for always giving us your love and support. It meant so much to hear from you and to see you, especially after our mom passed away. Love from the Phyllis Meadows family--Leslee, Mike, Bryan & Scott--and their families

Thirty years ago I met Elizabeth when she attended a bridal shower of mine. As is often the custom, each of the women attending offered a piece of advice in turn. Of all of the proffered counsel, only one stayed with me for the ensuing thirty years. Elizabeth said, "Remember. Happiness is not found at the end of your work and your journey. It is found all along the way."
She was right.
And she lived it too.
I will miss her.

Norman & Family, I was so happy to talk to Elizabeth Sunday before her passing. We had a sweet conversion. She really didn't want to leave all of you. But she was tired and her body was weak. You had a great wife, mother and grandmother. I told her that I would have a sweet feeling after she passed when I felt her with our loved ones on the other side. We are in Oregon, and about 6 hours after

Norman & Family, I was so happy to talk to Elizabeth Sunday before her passing. We had a sweet conversion. She really didn't want to leave all of you. But she was tired and her body was weak. You had a great wife, mother and grandmother. I told her that I would have a sweet feeling after she passed when I felt her with our loved ones on the other side. We are in Oregon, and about 6 hours after she passed we were walking in a Flower Garden at Shore Acres near Coos Bay. I walked up to this beautiful flower and the name of the flower was Elizabeth Jane. Grandmother Hassell first name. At that moment I knew she was with family and all was well. It brought be comfort and I hope it bring some to you. Our love to all of you. We will miss the service but hope we can listen to it if it is recorded.

I appreciated the brief time I was able to spend with Elizabeth. She was a hard worker and a caring teacher. She has left a legacy of students lives whom she has blessed and enriched throughout her life as she fulfilled her role as a loving teacher and mentor.

I first met Elizabeth when our two sons, Tyler and Bryce, were in the 8th grade. She possessed great wisdom and wit, and I wanted to learn how she was able to accomplish so much with such a large family.

One of my favorite memories of Elizabeth happened at 6 a.m. on a Christmas Eve many years ago. I bumped into her in a store, where she was trying to finish up her preparations for Christmas before her family got

One of my favorite memories of Elizabeth happened at 6 a.m. on a Christmas Eve many years ago. I bumped into her in a store, where she was trying to finish up her preparations for Christmas before her family got out of bed. She was cheerful and friendly--though she admitted she was exhausted. I'm sure she made Christmas wonderful--but all those years of public school teaching had to have limited the time she had to prepare.

We have met several of the Oliphant "children" over the years--and you are all blessed with an infusion of talents--some of which came from Elizabeth's example, prodding, and genetics!

I am sorry for your loss and hope your family finds strength and comfort in the coming days and weeks.

Elizabeth was a lovely person and I wanted to extend my sympathy to your family at her passing. We were 'back row altos' together in the Utah Symphony Chorus for many years and she also taught my daughter piano. She was generous with her knowledge and talent and was such a good hearted and kind person. She was so proud of her children and their many accomplishments. I wish you all well at this difficult time. Please know that Elizabeth touched many people's lives for good.
Warmly,
Carol Stringham
