Elizabeth McKenzie
Elizabeth Jean Marston McKenzie, 86, went home with the Lord on Monday, August 28, 2006, her husband George's birthday. She was born to Fred and Miriam Marston at Long Beach, California. Her father's work took the family throughout the West, Mexico and Europe, spending her early childhood in Greece. She attended schools in El Paso, Texas and the University of Arizona in Tucson.
During WWII, Betty married George E. McKenzie in El Paso, Texas, to whom two children were born, Prince (George) and Miriam (Mimsie). She raised her children with a strong Christian faith at the same Methodist church her grandmother had helped to build in 1912.
Betty studied accounting at Texas Western College (UTEP) and worked for the Army Medical Center of El Paso. She was a master gardener and floral designer, and in Little Rock, she always enjoyed Women's Bible Studies. Her devotion to family included caring for her mother for many years.
Betty and George retired to Little Rock, to be near their daughter, Mimsie Allen, a missionary with Family Life of Campus Crusade for Christ since 1984. They are survived by their son, Prince and wife, Becky; daughter, Mimsie Allen; grandchildren, Jennifer (husband, 1LT Christopher Compton), Miriam McKenzie, Jeffrey and Elizabeth Allen; and great-granddaughter, McKenzie Allen.
Memorial Graveside Service will be on Thursday, August 31, 2006, at 12:30 p.m. at Walnut Grove Cemetery (3.7 miles west of Chenal Parkway on Kanis, behind Walnut Grove United Methodist Church). In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Family Life Ministry's "Hope for Orphans."
Arrangements by Little Rock Funeral Home, 8801 Knoedl Court (NW corner of I-630 and Barrow Road), Little Rock (501) 224-2200.
