Wyatt -- Elizabeth Wyatt, better known as Liz, born October 18, 1912, on a farm in Meade County, KS, to Herman and Minnie Winter Wyatt.

Liz taught school in a one room country schoolhouse during the Great Depression. She moved to New Mexico in 1950 after she was widowed and had regarded Albuquerque as her true home of the heart, as she had spent many, happy years here. Liz fondly remembers her many wonderful friends and acquaintances. In later years, she traveled far, to Europe and South America. She had lived in Florida and in New Jersey, where she lived with her only child. She is survived by her daughter, Loretta Sharon, Upper Montclair, NJ; two brothers, Fred Wyatt, Kansas City, MO and Calvin Wyatt, Portland, OR.
