    Elizabeth did the flower arrangements and helped in so many ways for my daughters wedding. She was a joy to work with.Sorry she left this world so young.

    This is not the Mrs. Van Pelt that taught at Ernest Ward. Elizabeth taught at Escambia County High School and at the Junior High School in Atmore. It is Doris Van Pelt, sister-in-law that taught at Ernest Ward.
