The Teneriello’s became her second family many, many years ago and will miss her at all holidays and gatherings.
She was a kind, loving soul who lived life to the fullest. She worked as an Executive Assistant at Coney Island Hospital for over 30 years. When she retired, she couldn’t just stay home and went back to work. Marc and Liz had the pleasure of living in Newport R.I., where they got married and then moving to Jacksonville, FL. While Marc was active in the U.S. Navy. While in Jacksonville, Liz kept busy working at the Navy Lodge Hotel where she worked her way up to Assistant Manager. This helped her keep busy when Marc had to go out to sea for 6 months at a time. When Marc retired they bought their dream home in Alexandria, N.H. Again Liz could not just stay home, so she volunteered at the Gift Shop in the hospital, ironically where she passed way. Thank you to all the nurses and staff that made Liz’s final journey peaceful and comfortable.
Before marrying Marc in 2004, she was active for many, many years with PWP, Parents Without Partners. She was President of the board and organized all the weekly dances and vacations that the group would take together. She was invited to this organization by her deceased Uncle, Johnny DePierro. Liz and Uncle Johnny became very close and shared a special bond.
Liz loved going on vacations. She would go on vacations with her family and friends. Simple things like Dude Ranches for the weekend or trips to Aruba and the Bahamas. When Liz and Marc got married, they enjoyed their yearly trips to Punta Cana and Maine and loved going to the casinos. She loved playing cards and doing puzzles.
Liz was a huge sports fan. She loved watching baseball, football, basketball and hockey games on TV. She enjoyed going to the Patriots games with Marc as season ticket holders. She was a trooper and enjoyed many games with her husband and her tailgating family they met at the stadium.
Liz lived life to the fullest and she touched the hearts of everyone that met her. She made everyone feel loved and special and she will truly missed by all that had the honor to meet her and know her.
