Elizabeth Waring
December 18, 1929 – September 23, 2020
Elizabeth (Liz) Waring, wife of Harold J. Waring Jr., passed away peacefully on September 23, 2020, in Sun City Center, Fla. She was born December 18, 1929, in Stamford, Conn., to the late Michael and Anna Marie O’Grady Moker. Liz and Harold were married on May 20, 1950, and just celebrated their 70th wedding Anniversary.
Liz worked for many years as a secretary for Peabody Engineering in Stamford, Conn. She loved her job and was so adored that she was nicknamed “cuddles” by her co-workers. Liz could often be found spending her winters skiing in Vermont and summers boating on Long Island Sound with her family and friends. Liz and Harold retired and moved to Riverview, Fla., where they have spent the last 30 years enjoying life. Liz was a member of the Summerfield Ladies Club, where she made lifelong friends. Liz was a dedicated fan of the New England Patriots and Tom Brady.
In addition to her husband Harold, she is survived by her loving daughter, Mary Lou Loh; her son in-law, Raymond J. Loh Sr.; and her sister, Ann Young. Liz’s greatest pleasure in life was her six grandchildren whom she loved beyond words: Julie (Stephen) Hinckley, Raymond J. Loh Jr., Michelle (Casey) Messer, Denise Waring, Terrence (Pamela) Loh and Jacqueline Waring. She was affectionately called “Gigi” by her 10 great-grandchildren who filled her heart with joy.
Liz was predeceased by her son, James J. Waring; her sister, Mary Persich; and her brother, Robert Moker. Liz lived the past 90 years to the fullest, and we were blessed to have had this beautiful woman in our lives. She was a shining star in our family and always ready to give her advice, whether you wanted it or not. We will miss her fierce determination, strong opinions and infectious giggle.
Private burial services will be held in Stamford, Conn., at a later date.
