Elizabeth Katherine Vroman, 57, passed away on June 20^th, 2020 after being diagnosed with lymphoma last year.

Elizabeth (Liz) was born on July 1^st, 1962 to Bill and Loretta Vroman. Liz was raised in Hamden, NY and attended Delaware Academy. At age 12, Liz gained a stepmom, Edith (Edie) Vroman. Liz grew up with six siblings, Bonnie, Kathy, Barbara, Rick, Linda, and Tom. Liz also had a nephew, Ken; and a niece, Katrina, that were raised as her siblings.

As a young adult, Liz moved to Greene County, NY; where she lived for many years and went on to make a home for her children. Only recently, Liz returned to the home she grew up in on Hamden Hill.

Liz had a great appreciation for nature, and would take photographs of the mountains when the leaves changed color in autumn. Liz was an avid gardener; her flower and vegetable gardens thrived every year. Liz enjoyed craft projects, knitting, and embroidery. She spent a lot of her spare time making gifts for those closest to her. More than anything, Liz loved her family.

Liz is survived by her six children, Tara, Kaitlyn, Rudy, Trisha, Kendra, and Roarden; her granddaughters, Hailey, Madison, and Scarlett; her grandson, Alexander; and a number of loving relatives and close friends.

“Remember me with smiles and laughter, for that is how I will remember you all. If you can only remember me with tears, then don’t remember me at all.”
