She married Frank Di Grappa in 1951 and supported him in his work by moving nearly every 2 years for the next nine years. They finally settled in Denver after having their last child. She worked hard to create a home for her family but also worked at a sale person for the Denver Dry Goods Company and later as a bridal consultant at Bea’s Bridal Boutique.

She was very creative, a good seamstress and a terrible cook. She loved to travel and would bring back unique finds to decorate her home. Lizzy’s favorite food was pie and cookies. She laughed easily and was kind.
