Elizabeth Francis (Liz), Perrone
Liz grew up in Chicago Ridge, Ill., where she attended grade school and eventually graduated from Harold L. Richards High School in Oak Lawn, Ill.; she attended Haskell Indian Nations University (Lawrence, Kan.) and Milwaukee Area Technical College, where she received her nursing license. Liz continued to pursue her love of nursing at the Peter Christiansen Health Center, where she worked for many years.
Liz liked to help anyone in need. She got involved early in the response to the pandemic by creating masks for family and friends. She loved working at PCHC and was committed to the people she served. She loved drawing, painting, beading, mosaics, and many other creative activities. Many will miss hearing her respond with a ready “okaaay” to their questions or comments.
Liz was very protective of family and extended family members. Liz cherished and is survived by her daughter Rebecca (Brad) and grandchildren: Anthony, Elise, Emery, Dominic, Angelee, and Dante; brothers Edmund and Ted (Sheila); sister Melanie (John); nieces and nephews, Jon, Dan, Mac, Teddy, Stephanie, Rich, Jim, Kara and many, many cousins and close family friends. Liz also loved her wire-haired trick dog “Eddy!”
Liz was preceded in death by her parents, sister, Debra (Mike), and son, George Perrone.
A celebration of life will be held on Saturday, Oct. 8, from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. at 181 Cedar Ave. in Lac du Flambeau.
In lieu of flowers, donations are requested for the Trevor Project supporting suicide prevention and crisis interventions for LGBTQ youth. The Trevor Project P.O. Box 69232 West Hollywood, CA, 90069.
