Elizabeth Eileen McCaskill, 63, the widow of Don McCaskill, passed on June 3, 2014. Her parents were Michael and Mary Edith Matrician.
Born in Pennsylvania, she grew up in Houston, where she attended the University of Houston. She was a resident of Pontotoc, Texas.
She is survived by her sisters, Katherine Greaber Pickard and Marian Matrician; nephew Shawn Greaber; as well as her many friends. A lover of horses and all God’s creatures, she left behind her beautiful horse, Cappie, and donkey, Jesus.
A cancer survivor for many years, she lived life with great hope and a blessed outlook. Her keen ability to recall life stories and share them was part of her unique personality. She will be remembered for her kindness and determination to help. Wherever there was a need, she would be there.
Liz was a quick study and a passionate reader and writer. Her husband, Don, was a soulmate. Creative and artistic, her garden of rocks, shells, bone and wood became a site of great satisfaction and a place where many gatherings occurred. She loved the land and all that grows there. She will be missed.
