My beautiful mama, Elizabeth Gorrill Sterling, 80, joined her past loved ones on May 24, 2013, at her home in Lawrence.
She was born June 22, 1932, in Lawrence, the daughter of Galen A. and Mary O. Warren Gorrill. She graduated from Liberty Memorial High School.
Elizabeth worked as a secretary for Kansas Power and Light for many years. Previously, she had worked for the Baldwin City newspaper, Lawrence Memorial Hospital, and managed the Alley Shop in downtown Lawrence. She enjoyed Scrabble, crossword puzzles, knitting, gardening, Reader’s Digest, and spending time with her family.
Survivors include her companion, Harold Haskett, of the home; a son, Robert G. Sterling, Lawrence; three daughters, Cathy Lewis and husband Brian, Lawrence, Virginia Mofid, Lawrence, and Vicki Pendleton and husband Raymond, Jacksonville, Fla.; 14 grandchildren, 31 great grandchildren, one great-great grandchild, and three on the way.
Memorials may be made to the Lawrence Humane Society, P.O. Box 651, Lawrence, KS, 66044.
Any services for Elizabeth will be announced at a later date.
