Born on January 21, 1934 in Eureka during the Great Depression, and died September 25, 2025. She was one of 12 children. 

Elizabeth knew what it meant to work hard. She worked at Humboldt County Department of Health and Human Service for over 30 years. During the 1964 flood in Humboldt County, she helped pass out supplies from a helicopter. Quite the adventure for someone who did not like being in the air.

Elizabeth was a happy grandmother to 6 grandchildren and great grandmother to 9.  She was there at almost every sports game, graduation, and any other events involving her grandchildren.

She had a very giving spirit, happy to help different causes that she loved. She loved her garden and took great pride in her flowers. She loved collecting  mice figures and enjoyed displaying them in her home.

She has survived by her children: Jo Ann Mell, Ernest Leon Millot III and David Allen Millot (Regina). Grandchildren: Stephanie Francis (Robbie), Kimberly Laddipalli (Sai), David Millot Jr. (Casey), Scott Mell, Michael Millot and Kyle Millot.  Sisters: Patricia Ennes & Mary Mahoney (Dennis). Brothers: Joseph Cramer & Richard Cramer (Teresa). Numerous nieces & nephews.

She was preceded in death by second husband, Ray Woods, ex-husband, Ernest Millot Jr. daughter, Lee Ann Millot. Brothers: John Cramer, Gerald Cramer, Myron Cramer, Art Cramer, Ray Cramer, Henry Cramer. Sister: Barbara Garling.

Arrangements made by Ayres Family Cremation/Ocean View Cemetery. There will be a graveside gathering at Sunset Memorial Park in Eureka on October 25, 2025 at 1 p.m. All are welcome.
