She attended Bellhaven College in Jackson, MS. where she met the love of her life Gene Morgan Stout who was attending Mississippi College. They were married August 3rd, 1943 at Breezy Hill. Following WWII, Liz and Gene settled in Baton Rouge where she began to establish their life long home of 70 plus years.

She truly found her soul mate in Gene. During their 74 years of marriage, they shared a mutual love of music, dancing, camping, fishing, and entertaining for a long list of family and friends. Liz was an accomplished cook and seamstress who taught and inspired so many to carry on these wonderful life skills. Liz had the gift of forming bonds and friendships that lasted a lifetime.
