Above all of this, she loved the Lord, her husband, her children, her precious grandchildren, and her family. Elizabeth is survived by her husband of 50 years, Bob Jefferson. Children: Carrie (Brian) Judd, Curtis (Sarah) Jefferson. Grandchildren: Hannah, Nathan and Ruth Judd, Grey, Sanders and Collins Jefferson.
