Life story
Remembering Elizabeth
Elizabeth May Carter was a teacher, pianist, mother, grandmother, and friend whose life was shaped by patience and care. She spent more than three decades helping children find confidence in their own voices, and she carried that same gentle encouragement into every room she entered. Her garden was never only a garden: it was a place for tea, stories, birthdays, and long summer evenings. Those who loved Elizabeth remember her steady humour, handwritten notes, and the way she made ordinary days feel held.
