Elizabeth Smith Obituary
Elizabeth Marie "Liz" Smith, 62, passed away Tuesday, May 16, 2023, at Blanchard Valley Hospital.
She was born Sept. 1, 1960, in Fostoria, to Robert and Georgia (Smith) Weaks.
Liz married her soulmate, Stephen Smith, on July 4, 1990, and he survives, along with their children, Sarah (Jeremy) Brault and Brandy Keeter; grandchildren, Javen Essinger and Zoe Brault; fur babies, Bam and Benny; and sisters, Deb Vaughan Aurand and Melissa Demmy.
Liz was preceded in death by her parents; and brothers, Timothy Weaks, Robert Weaks, and Eric Weaks.
Liz loved going on adventures, whether it was shopping for sparkly treasures for herself or others, traveling to her happy place with her husband to collect beach glass and rocks in St. Joe, Michigan, or always making new friends wherever she happened to go.
Liz's breath and life each day were her grandchildren, Javen and Zoe. She will forever be known as the queen of glitter and sparkle to everyone she gave her heart to. Let the light and love she shined so brightly be a beacon for us all to look to when we miss her heart, spunk, one of a kind dance moves, and phenomenal cooking. May we always remember, grief is the price we pay for love.
Visitation for friends and family will be 2-4 p.m. Sunday, May 21, 2023, at HUFFORD FAMILY FUNERAL HOME, 1500 Manor Hill Rd., Findlay, 419-422-1500. Following visitation, there will be a celebration of life at Brix, 411 S. Main St., Findlay.

I have spent much time time with Betty as I was her hairdresser. She was one of the kindest, sweetest people that I know. I truly enjoyed and cherish our friendship. I will miss her very much.
Much love, pegwest
