Elizabeth (Liz) Long died on January 9, 2021. She was the daughter of James Allen Black and Lauren Lord Black. Liz grew up on the family's farm in Neese, Georgia. After graduating from Madison County High School, she married Fred Long in May 1942. They were married for 68 years until Fred's death in 2010. During Fred's career, they lived in Atlanta, Macon, Louisville, Kentucky, and Birmingham, Alabama. Both loved golf; it inspired Liz to be a life-long walker. After retiring, Liz and Fred moved to Athens in 1988 to nurture, cherish, and enjoy their adopted grandchildren - Jarrett, Anna, and Sarah. She gave the gifts of love and time to these three and many others. Special gratitude is expressed for the care and love Liz received from the staff at Silverleaf, Athens. In lieu of flowers, please donate in Liz's memory to your favorite charity.
