Elizabeth was born July 27, 1906 in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England. She immigrated to Canada in June 1920 with her mother, Ann, stepfather Peter Tweddle and older brother Matthew (George) Morrow. In June 1925 she married Albert Ernest Johnson. She was lovingly and faithfully by his side for 63 years, raising their three children Ernest, Judy and Eric. She was actively involved in their business and they enjoyed 26 years of retirement together. In 1984 they left their family home and were among the first residents of the newly built Lion's Place where she lived until December 1, 2004. She was predeceased by her husband Albert in 1988 and her son Ernest in 1993. She was a survivor and the last in her generation.
