She was born on January 7, 1945 to loving parents Clyde and Gladys Shoemaker in Colorado City, Mitchell County, Texas. She had six brothers and sisters. Elizabeth spent much of her youth in Colorado City where she had many fond memories of brushing her grandfather's snow white hair, attending the picture show, to playing with her siblings Clydine, Johnny, and Ronnie. As a young adult she made her home in Clyde raising her two young daughters. In Clyde, is where she met her husband John Steele when he asked her to go get a coke. They would marry on February, 13, 1971 in Clyde, Texas. Together with their four daughters they would make their home in Tulsa, OK before moving to White Settlement, Texas and eventually making their home in Clyde. They added two more daughters to the family. Elizabeth worked at Timex before she and John would start their business manufacturing printing equipment. She enjoyed taking long drives and playing Canasta but her greatest joy was her grandchildren. She was not just a granny but a great granny experiencing the joy of great grandchildren.
