Liz was born in Houston, TX to the late Thomas and Jane Combs. She was a devout Christian that loved her community dearly. Through her church, she was able to do the things she loved most- helping others, helping children, and helping spread the message of God. She was a mental health advocate and spent much of her time volunteering for the National Alliance of Mental Illness. She will be remembered as a loving mother, grandmother, and wife. Alabama and the Dallas Cowboys football season will never be the same without hearing Liz cheering them on.
The family will be accepting flowers. They may be purchased conveniently on our online store, or at any local florist.
Cherokee Memorial Funeral Home in charge of arrangements.
