Elizabeth R. Derleth

We are deeply sorry for your loss ~ Gunderson Funeral Home - Madison

As with anyone else who knew her, Liz shared so many great life messages and lessons. Not the least of which was, when she retired, she stated she intended to help as many people as she possibly could for the rest of her live long life. That message was not lost on me. I have since retired and I intend to do the very same thing. She taught me well. Fly high Liz with your cat angels. I will carry your smile in my heart forever.-d'neece.

So many fond memories of Liz and the way she imparted her knowledge and kindness to others. Liz was her own person and she let you know how she felt. I enjoyed the many conversations and lunches I shared with her. Rest I peace Liz and know you made a difference in people’s lives. Judy

I was so lucky to have Liz come into my life. She became the mom I didn’t have. She taught me to love and care for others, stand up for myself and live life as it comes. I will miss her solid advice, her laugh and her love. I’m certain she is still watching over me. Love you Liz💕💕

Liz was a great friend to me for a long time. She was my supervisor over 50 years ago and we kept in touch all of these years. She was a great supervisor who never made anyone feel that their question was bad. She taught me a lot and was always willing to listen to my concerns long after I left the job to take care of my children. I enjoyed the times I took her to appointments and we would have lunch and visit after them. She was a blessing to our family and always interested in what they were doing and so good to them. I will always miss her but will cherish the memories of times spent together. May she rest in peace without her earthly struggles. Love you Liz, Carmen Kruschek
