  • Date Of Death: June 27, 2015

Elizabeth (Taylor) Anstice of Burlington Twp., New Jersey where she resided with her daughter and son in law for over 25 years, left us on June 27, 2015. She was 93 years young and just 3 weeks shy of her 94th birthday.

Elizabeth, born in 1921, was raised in Ayr, Scotland. She served in the British Air Force as one of the first radar operators during WWII and was stationed on the English Channel at Portsmouth. On June 6, 1944, she witnessed the planes leaving English soil on their way across the channel for the Normandy Invasion and when she spoke of it, she always became very emotional.

She later was an American War Bride and came to the States in 1946. Mom enjoyed sewing and made many of the clothes her daughters wore all during their school years. She loved oil painting and we now have several of her works on display in our homes. Reading was also one of her favorite pastimes and in her lifetime probably read an entire library of books. She was very active in PTA during the 50’s and 60’s. Her greatest joy was her children, whom she always put before herself, and so loved family gatherings where everyone was together. Every year at Christmastime we all knew we would be getting a tray of her wonderful cookies.

She worked at Titone’s in Burlington for over 20 years and after retirement, went to live with her daughter and son in law where she took on the job of taking care of the household to “give her something to do”. She was preceded in death by her parents Andrew and Jesse, her sister Mamie Taylor and her grandson Andrew Taylor Anstice, Jr.,

She is survived by her son Andrew Taylor (Linda), daughters Leslie Eisler (John) and Dianne Bihlear (Fred). She is also survived by her nine grandchildren: Dana Cann, Robert Fernholz, Christopher Fernholz, Kim Woolson, Shane Anstice, Kelly Plowman, Jenny Nyman, Chrissy Blanchard, Ian Anstice, 18 great-grandchildren and 3 great-great grandchildren.
