Elizabeth E. Fife

Elizabeth Eleanor Fife (Aukscunas) of Wooster, Ohio passed away Saturday, February 8th with family by her side. Born on March, 17, 1928 on her family’s milk farm in Industry, PA, Lee, as she was called, was the youngest child of Enoch and Anna Aukscunas, along with six older brothers and sisters (all preceding her in death). After moving to several job destinations with husband Sam, they settled onto the Fife family’s 1830s homestead outside of Beaver. She rejoiced in beautifying her home and property with creating bountiful gardens of vegetables and flowers into the garden spot of Brighton Township. That bounty she grew was generously shared with friends and family throughout the area. Her visiting grandchildren were the beneficiaries of a master class in gardening and nature. She was the beloved wife for 61 years to Samuel Robinson Fife Jr (deceased); loving mother of Rachel Fife Derr (Tom) and Samuel Robinson Fife III (deceased); most beloved grandmother to Thomas Benjamin Derr (Tyler) and Amanda Lee Derr (deceased). She is survived by sister-in-law Rae Nancy Zuberbuhler and brother-in-law Dick Zuberbuhler and many nieces and nephews. Her resolute strength and spirit will remain close in our hearts always. Friends will be received in the Noll Funeral Home, 333 Third street, Beaver, PA., Friday, Feb 14, from 2 p.m. – 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. -8 p.m. Interment will take place on the family plot at Scrub Grass Presbyterian Cemetery, Emlenton, PA.

In lieu of flowers, Lee would have loved that you plant flowers to continue honoring her legacy.
