Elizabeth was born in Montreal, Quebec the daughter of Horace (Harry) Milner and Noelle Milner nee Berthiaume. Her dad, ‘Pops’ was a florist, who operated a floral nursery. Elizabeth grew up in the nursery, surrounded by flowers and plants, the greenhouse her playground. Throughout her life she continued her love of plants and flowers, and was a keen and knowledge gardener, a love she passed onto her daughters.
Our mother enjoyed needlework and was an avid sewer. Skills she shared with others, teaching some and making things for others. For many years, Elizabeth helped children who live at the Mexican Mission orphanage sponsored by the Project Brotherhood Society. She created and donated not only clothes, but purchased and donated personal products, household goods and toys for the children who live there. She enjoyed hearing from the sisters about the children and seeing their pictures. She was an incredibly kind, caring, and selfless woman, who saw the plight and need of others and was there.
