So sorry for your loss, I enjoyed working with Liz when she worked at the VA. Loved to visit with her about Charlotte and my children while in high school and what the kids were always up to before and after graduation. She was such a great person and just a joy to work with.
Kathy Leischner says
I attended a Bible Study with Liz a few years ago here in Miles City. She truly was a woman who loved God and lived her life by His truths. We will keep you uplifted in our prayers as you grieve her passing.

So sorry to hear of Liz’s passing. I knew her many years ago when we both worked at the Miles City VA. She was always such a dedicated worker and a good friend. Hope your good memories help you all through this tough time. Linda & Richard

Charlie and Charlotte, Please accept my sincerest sympathy for the loss of your mom.She was a lovely lady. Our lives crossed in so many different ways between you two kids. . I didn’t realize she was also born in Sheridan and was only a few months older.
Carol Rath Raschkow says
I thought the world of Liz. She was wonderful to work with. We worked together at the VA. I will never forget when Charlotte was bit by the dog. I was called down to the ER to help with that emergency and Liz was so shook up and upset. Prior to that time I always saw Liz as the strongest ,most together nurse I ever worked with, until it involved her beloved daughter and then she was falling apart, (Like all nurses do when it is the family they love in emergency) God Bless Her, she was such a wonderful person and was so great with her patients. When they had Liz for a nurse they had the best.!! Rest in peace my friend…and Walk with God.
Ronda Griffin says
I found Liz to be such a calming person and great worker. She had such compassion for people no matter what their circumstances were. She was always interested in other people. She will be forever in my heart and I am a better person for knowing her!! May she rest in God’s peace until we meet again!!

Dear Family and Friends of Elizabeth Sumer – the loss of every human life is significant to me and should be valued by all. The Bible book of Hebrews reminds us that God does not forget all of the love and fine works shown by his servants (Hebrews 6:10). We are also promised that there will be a time in which pain that we now experience with this loss “will not be called to mind” (Isaiah 65:17) The promise of Paradise, the perfect conditions God intended for mankind will be fulfilled (Ps. 37:11) including God’s “will being done as in Heaven also up on Earth “(Matt 6:9, 10). Meanwhile we have the opportunity to be further comforted by reading about additional Bible promises (John 17:3).
