Elizabeth was a cherished daughter, sister, mother, aunt, grandmother and great – grandmother. She was a seeker of truth and devoted her life to a quest for health and spiritual growth. In her latter years she was a grateful member of the I AM Temple and St. Germain Foundation which sustained her life and brought her much joy. She was a world traveler having traveled extensively in the United States and abroad. Her greatest joy in life was spending time with her children and grandchildren, spending time on her I AM studies and exemplifying its message of peace and love. She greatly enjoyed attending her Stieglitz Family reunions in Indiana with her large extended family and was blessed at the age of 93 to make a trip to Mt. Shasta for the annual I AM Pageant. She was a LIGHT to all who knew her and to the world.
