BAXTER, Elizabeth Ann (née Paice)

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Elizabeth Ann Baxter (nee Paice) on May 23, 2022.

Born September 7, 1956, in Whitewood, Saskatchewan, "Liz" was the youngest daughter of Edward and Elizabeth Paice. The family moved to Rutland, BC in 1957 living most of their years in the Black Mountain neighbourhood. She graduated from Rutland Senior Secondary in 1974 and then went on to receive her Bachelor of Education from the University of Alberta in 1979. Liz taught school for 14 years and then moved on to a career in business administration until she retired from CoSyn in Edmonton, Alberta.

Liz is remembered for her infectious laughter, and her love of family, friends, and wiener dogs. We will miss her generous, kind, and gracious nature. May she rest in peace.

Liz is survived by her loving husband Gary, son Thomas, her sister Joyce Greenaway, brothers Ron and Cliff (Mariann) Paice, and numerous extended family.

A Celebration of Life will be held on FRIDAY, JUNE 3, 2022, at 1:00 PM, at SPRINGFIELD FUNERAL HOME, 2020 Springfield Road, Kelowna, BC. Elizabeth will be laid to rest during a private moment, for those of you who may wish to visit her in the future, she will be resting at Lakeview Memorial Gardens Cemetery, 2850 Dry Valley Rd, Kelowna, BC.

I'm so sorry to hear that Elizabeth has passed away so young. I remember her from school in Rutland and we rode the same school bus for a while. We both graduated in1974 and it was so nice to see her again at our last grad reunion.

My sympathy to her family and may memories always comfort you.

I went to school (can't remember which grades) with Elizabeth many years ago. I remember her as always smiling, and just one very nice person. May she rest in peace.
