Obituary of Elizabeth Pederson

Elizabeth “Dollie” Pederson passed away peacefully on November 17, 2023 surrounded by her loved ones.  She was a devoted daughter always honoring her parents, a thoughtful caring sister, and a loving wife and mother.   Dollie also fearlessly  protected and cared for other family members who were not able to take care of themselves.  She put herself last when it came to us all.  

Dollie was a very good artist and enjoyed painting and drawing. She was also a very gifted seamstress who could sew and mend anything, which included making dance costumes without a pattern.  

She had a green thumb evidenced by her wide variety of beautiful plants in her home and gardens. A favorite pastime for her was feeding and watching the birds from her window. Her favorite was the Northern Cardinal.  Because of her bird feeding, she even had a tamed chipmunk named Mr Chips that would come to her when she called for his daily treat of sunflower seeds.  Sometimes Mr Chips brought a friend whom she named Nibbles.  

We will miss her infectious laugh, sense of humor, and ability to laugh at herself.  We knew she was sad to leave us, but she understood the Lord was waiting to take her home. It is now her turn to be protected by her Father in heaven.  We love you mom and grammie so very much. 

Lovingly remembered by her children (Lynnie, TK and Shawn), grandchildren (Ashlee, Tanner, Blake, Taryn, Nicole and Taylor), great granddaughter (Arya) and numerous nieces and nephews. A private family service was held on November 21, 2023.
