Elizabeth Mable (Basta) Hockmuth was born on Jan. 17, 1991. Before leaving the hospital, it was thought that her nickname would be Beth; it soon became clear that she was a Liz, Lizzie, or to those who loved her most, Lizard-Breath.

The youngest of four daughters, Liz was a free spirit from the start. Every person she met was an instant friend and when she walked into a room it lit up. She was always the first to stand up for those she loved and never afraid to speak her mind. She was confident, knew what she believed in and was an inspiration to all.
