Elizabeth didn’t become strong at 70. She simply revealed the strength she had built over a lifetime.

For 50 years, Elizabeth and her husband built a life anchored in faith, commitment, and relentless resilience. They raised children, served LDS missions, and even lived in a tent while constructing their own home from the ground up. Her story is one of humble beginnings, steady endurance, and a deep trust in God’s timing.

Now in her seventies, Elizabeth has trained in Krav Maga and currently practices Taekwondo — proving that discipline, courage, and personal growth don’t stop with age. In this conversation, she shares the lessons learned from marriage, family, starting over again and again, and the cost — and blessing — of lifelong commitment.

This is a quiet, powerful story of faith lived out in action.
