Elizabeth died peacefully in her sleep in Lethbridge, AB on July 31, 2016. She left behind family and friends who are beyond sad at the hole left in their lives. Elizabeth grew up in Cranbrook.

In 1992 she graduated with a Bachelor of Education Degree (distinction) from the University of Lethbridge. There she met the love of her life, Dwight Telke. They married in 1993 and were blessed with two fantastic sons, Nathan (18) and Aaron (16). Family truly was the most important thing in Elizabeth’s life. Elizabeth was a gentle, compassionate person, with a quiet determination. She coupled this with a quick witted sense of humour – we will all miss her peals of laughter.

In addition to Dwight and her sons, she is survived by her father Peter Ford of Cranbrook, siblings Kathryn (Garth), Simon (Deanna), and Martin, along with many nieces and nephews.

She was predeceased by her mother, Lynn Ford, in 2012.
