In 2008, Elizabeth’s was awarded an MBE for voluntary services to the community. Elizabeth said that as a teenager she gave her heart to the Lord.
“God has blessed me with many blessings during my lifetime. I commenced my church work well over 70 years ago, that was helping with the tea at the Rev AV McCallin’s Institution as Rector of Magheragall in 1941. I became a Sunday School Teacher and am happy to say that some of my Sunday School children still attend Magheragall Church every Sunday,” she said.
Elizabeth 50 years’ service on the Select Vestry have included nine years as Honorary Secretary and 24 years as Honorary Treasurer.
At this year’s General Vestry, Elizabeth was nominated and elected to serve a 51st year on the Select Vestry.
