She had spent many of her years traveling with her daughter Charlie were she had met many people in the medical field whose friendships she cherished throughout her life.
“There is so much for both of us to learn” Liz Fourstar, Charlie’s Mother.
Liz’s thirst for knowledge was so vast she strived for education and always had an abundance of knowledge on anything and everything from how much sugar your drinks contained to how to fix a car while diagnosing and treating your illness’. In 2007 she had obtained her Associates of Arts degree in General Studies, in 2012 she had reached her Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology. Liz was currently working on her Master’s Degree when she began to suffer from health problems.
She enjoyed spending time with her family and friends telling stories and having deep conversations whether she was teaching or learning something new. Liz was a loving, caring and protective Friend, Cousin, Sister, Aunt, Grandma and most of all Mother she played many different roles in her life and was very supportive of those she loved. She loved her daughters Charlie, Adriann and Isabelle and her boy Pat who were her pride and joy. Liz could not be more proud of her daughter, she was often heard boasting about her baby girl and all her accomplishments.
