Obituary of Elizabeth Ann Wallace

Liz Wallace would like to let you know that her work here is done. She received a call recently, one she could not refuse. Her new assignment comes with a bonus as she will be reuniting with her beloved sister, Linda Malogrides, her dear mother, Ruth Williams, and "Grams" a tiny little lady known for always wearing white gloves no matter the heat of the day. Born in Champaign, Illinois, Liz attended summer camp at Lake Towanda where she honed her skills at chain-smoking and infectious laughter. On this final journey she takes with her a heart of gold and a pocketful of giggles. Liz began her real estate career in 1976 as a legendary sales agent at Casablanca Condominiums in St. Petersburg. Along with her business partner and close friend, Barbara Seidenstein, she was a principal in Creative Life Styles, a real estate brokerage company located on Beach Drive. Throughout her long career in real estate Liz touched many lives through her caring and thoughtful ways. Her purpose was always to find the best possible homes for her clients; the amount of commission was never her motivation. Liz loved living on St. Pete Beach, and for 15 years she would meet her friend Dee Coates for 6:00 am strolls from Harry's Beach Bar to the Don CeSar Hotel. She was in awe of the splendor of God's wonder with the tide, the beach and the birds. Liz also enjoyed the mountains and delighted in spending many months of each year in her home in Highlands, NC. During her lifetime she owned many pets but her most beloved was Mike, a darling Lhaso Apso, who is going to be the first to welcome her through heaven's gate. One of the most grateful people to have walked this earth, trying to capture Liz Wallace in the written word is like trying to catch a sunbeam in a jar. She will be greatly missed by all who loved her dearly. Peace, dear friend! Our loss is God's joy. Liz was born to the late Jack Yates Williams and the late Ruth Margaret Williams. She is survived by Tom Young, her brother James Williams (Cindy), and her many nieces and nephews. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to: Alzheimer's Association 225 N.
