She was born to John and Eleanor Loyd on May 3rd, 1958 in Washington, DC. As an Air Force brat, she lived overseas as well as in the United States. Her father retired in Jacksonville where she graduated High School in 1976. She would go on to earn a degree in elementary education from the University of Central Arkansas in 1980 and later earned an adult education certification. After graduation she followed her husband on his assignments in the U.S. Army, also overseas and in the United States until he retired in Conway in 2001.

Liz had a passion for reading, a love of cross stitch and plastic canvas and an unmatched gift for cooking and baking. Her family and friends will remember her smile, her laugh, her warm hugs and her wise advice. Everyone who was taught by her in the classroom will remember her patience and her desire to see each of them succeed. Those who attended church with her will remember her as an incredible Sunday School teacher, choir member and faithful follower of her Savior Jesus Christ.

We have missed Liz and her family for several years now. She was an awesome Sunday School teacher and she was always eager to help wherever she was needed. She loved the Lord and she loved teaching others to love him. I am so thankful because I know she is with him right now and will not have to endure this horrible disease anymore. Liz was a very intellectual person and I pray that she was not in pain and that she was unaware of what she was going thru. We will continue to miss her but glad her fight is done. My thoughts and prayers are with Billy, Bonnie, Missy, BJ and Marisa.
