It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of Elizabeth Osborne, who departed this life on May 3, 2025, in Blountstown, Florida, surrounded by her loving family. Born on February 21, 1935, in Wewahitchka, Florida, Elizabeth lived a full and vibrant life dedicated to nurturing her loved ones and creating lasting memories.

Elizabeth devoted her life to raising her children and grandchildren, instilling in them the values of love, kindness, and family. She found immense joy in the simple pleasures of life, such as shopping and doing laundry, and particularly cherished family get-togethers that brought everyone together in celebration of love and togetherness.
