December 2, 1919 — July 30, 2006

A private family funeral service will be at a later date. Bohnenkamp-Murdoch Funeral Home in Manchester is in charge of arrangements. Burial will be in Greenwood Cemetery, Masonville.

Elizabeth married Leslie Ankrom in 1937 and moved to Jacksonville, Illinois. She later moved to Manchester, Iowa in the late 1970?s.
Elizabeth enjoyed cooking, sewing and her flower garden. She entered many of these items in state and county fairs, winning prizes and honors for all. Her greatest joy, however, was spending time with family. Her grandchildren and great-grandchildren were truly the joy of her life.
