She attended Hartford Public Schools graduating from Weaver High School with the class of 1957. Elizabeth, known to many as Lizzie, was the youngest girl of the Countryman Clan.

Lizzie held roles as a unit secretary, nurses’ aide and finished her career working in the cardiac ICU at the nurses station. Lizzie retired from St. Francis Hospital on August 1, 2001. Elizabeth lived an active lifestyle, loved to cook, travel and host people at her home. She is recognized for cooking for large events and cookouts with family and friends who enjoyed her smile and outgoing personality. You could find Lizzie playing bingo at the Bloomfield Senior Center often, traveling with friends and taking organized trips to the casino for dinner and entertainment. She was known for organizing frequent bus trips to clothing outlets in New York, Boston, Englishtown, NJ, and Virginia. She was a member of Hopewell Baptist Church, a former member of the church’s nursing unit, which is totally in character with her reputation as a giving person. She loved to dress to impress but frequently wore T-shirts from different cities or universities, especially UCONN. She loved the UCONN women’s basketball team and watched whenever they were televised. Elizabeth met Curtis Williams and they married in 1959, ultimately divorcing twenty years later. Elizabeth leaves behind four children, Shari, Dwayne, Tammy and Derrick and four grandchildren, Nicole, Dion, Chenoa and Cameron.
