Elizabeth Coolidge
January 23, 1954 — March 11, 2020
Elizabeth M. “Liza” Coolidge (nee Klein) was given the gift of life on January 23, 1954 and on March 11, 2020 she reluctantly gave it back. It was hard for her to leave her son Adam, his wife and children. Adam and Liza always looked after each other and she held on until he assured her that he would be okay if she had to go. She is at peace.
Whatever her role, Mom, Whammy, Gramoo, Sis, family or friend, Liza loved everyone unconditionally, overlooking our shortcomings and inadequacies.
Liza attended McAuley High School in Joplin, MO and studied Environmental Science Mining and Engineering at University of Missouri in Columbia, MO and continued her studies at Southern Illinois University in Carbondale, IL.
Liza is survived by her son Adam (Melissa) Coolidge and four beloved grandchildren Scarlett (8), Carter (6), Colton (4) and Layla (2); a sister Mary Klein of Kansas City, MO; a stepson Chad (Heidi) of Vermilion, OH and stepdaughter Rian Lyday (Keith) of Freeport, FL. She is also survived by three step-grandchildren Mackenna, Kobe and Arabella; a niece Kara Klein; a cousin Tricia Murphy Shilling as well as the extended Coolidge clan.
She was predeceased by her parents Ann & Charles Klein of Joplin, MO and a nephew Charles Klein of Kansas City, MO.
Everyone who knew her was blessed to learn many valuable lessons from Liza during her 66 years about kinesiology, alkaline water, mold remediation and having a balanced life. She was selflessly devoted to God and to helping her brothers and sisters on Earth and would always step up to the opportunity.
