It is with great sadness that the family of Liz Maxwell announces her sudden and unexpected death in the early morning hours of July 30th, 2005. Liz was the loving wife of Mike Trusz and the mother of Graham, Jamie and Cameron Webster. She was also a long-time teacher at both I.E.Weldon and Fenelon Falls Secondary Schools. Liz's sense of family, humour and zest for life will be missed by all who knew her. Liz was born in Halifax, Nova Scotia on September 29th, 1948. The daughter of Bill Maxwell, a naval commander in the Canadian Armed Forces and Margaret Maxwell, a teacher, she spent the first years of her life moving between Ottawa and Halifax. She was an adventuresome, outgoing and athletic child, which led her to Queen's University where she studied Phys. Ed, eventually earning a Master in Education from the University of Toronto. She moved to Fenelon Falls with her first husband Jim Webster and kept busy with local politics and coaching highschool sports teams, taking a particular interest in basketball, volleyball and track and field. Despite being very active and health conscious, jogging every day long before it became fashionable, Liz suffered from some serious health afflictions in her middle years. In 1992 she gratefully received a liver transplant, which allowed her an additional thirteen years to nurture her family and marry her husband Mike. Together, with their family, they embarked on a wide range of adventures including participating in the transplant games in Australia where Liz earned a Silver medal. She also sailed the Greek Islands, toured France and Portugal and travelled throughout North America visiting friends and family from the Yukon to Newfoundland. When she wasn't travelling she was often found on the tennis court or expanding her fledgling writing career. Her love, energy and spirit will be missed by all. Along with her husband and sons, Liz is survived by her stepchildren Dave, Melanie and Josh Trusz, her Aunt Flora Tabor, her sister Barb Dean and her brother Bob Maxwell, her eight nieces and nephews and one great-niece. Friends and family will be received at the Jardine Funeral Home "Illman-Platten Chapel" 8 Princes' St. W. Fenelon Falls on Tuesday August 2nd from 2:00 until 4:00 p.m. and 7:00 until 9:00 p.m. A service celebrating her wonderful life will be held the following day, Wednesday August 3rd at 2:00 p.m. at the Fenelon Falls United Church.
