Her loss to us, and me, is heartbreaking. We collaborated for years. She was always wise, feisty and direct in her passion for the truth and the best ways to support the education of our bright-eyed young scholars.

I will always miss her presence and her wisdom.

Retired US Consular Agency Ixtapa, Elizabeth Williams, passed away early this morning at her home. She suffered a stroke on 29 June 2020. She was 88 years old. RIP LIZ.

Liz was a long-time friend and a big help to my mother when she worked for Liz in her real estate business. They collaborated and maintained their friendship for many years after my mother went on to open up her own real estate business. I'll never forget Liz coming over to my mother's with a box full of floppy disks to help my mother get Windows 95 installed at her home in La Ropa back when PCs and the internet were brand new things for us here. Liz was a huge presence here for years, helping gringos in her capacity as a U.S. Consular Agent with her office in Ixtapa, and helping worthy students of needy families with scholarships via Niños Adelante.

Rest in peace Liz. You were always a shining star. I shall always be in your debt for your friendship, guidance and assistance. You helped hundreds of young students and their families. Your service to the community-local and expat- was incalculable. You are deserving of a special place in Heaven hopefully with an ocean view.

Liz was also instrumental in founding the Ninos Adelante Scholarship Program over 40 years ago, countless students have passed through the program and gone on to be valuable contributors to society. Right now over half of the students in the program are attending university thanks to their sponsors and scholarships. Rest in Peace Liz, great legacy to leave behind.
