There will be a remembrance service at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, February the 18th, at Unity Church of the Hills in Austin, Texas. Her wishes were to be cremated with no graveside services. She is preceded in death by her paternal father, Larry Dean, her adoptive father, Ralph Brown, and sister, Aldene Vernon. Elizabeth was born in Monroe, LA, on September 23, 1950, and was known to her family as "Liz" or "Aunt Liz". She served her professional career as a legal secretary working in Washington DC, Ft Lauderdale, Atlanta, Houston, Dallas, Austin and Ft. Worth. She enjoyed traveling, visiting the Texas Gulf Coast, gardening, playing "Mom" to her beloved dog, Django, as well as supporting her husband John's career and hobbies which led to many new friendships both inside and outside her established circle of family and friends. Liz enjoyed a second career as a jewelry designer and manufacturer, developing her talent and craft into both a retail and web-based outlet for dichroic glass jewelry and products. Paramount to all, she put her family first by supporting her parents, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins and friends before she thought of herself. She will be deeply missed. She is survived by her husband John Ridings, mother and step father Jeannette and Al Vernon, her brothers Glenn, Andrew and Larry Brown, sisters, Christy Ehlers, Holly Vernon, and Brenda Stevens, and her many nieces, nephews, aunts, cousins and other family members. Flowers can be sent to the Unity Church of the Hills prior to the service.
