Elizabeth Ann "Liz" Watkins

Elizabeth Ann Watkins was born November 20, 1953 to Otha Eugene & Gracie (Ophelia) Gray Tidwell. She married Darrell Watkins (deceased) on February 14, 1978 and to that union two children were born, Eugenia Lynn Watkins and Antwan D. Watkins.
Liz was baptized at an early age at Mount Zion Baptist Church in Earlington, Ky. She was a member of Purpose of Life Ministries, Pastor David Green in Indianapolis, Indiana.
While living in Evansville she worked at 16 Plus as an Assistant Manager for many years. For over twenty years she lived in Indianapolis, Indiana where she worked at Value City Department Store and Menards Home Improvement. Liz loved people and wherever she went, whether it was at work or having fun, she made lifelong friends. She met no strangers. She was left handed but “always right.” She loved to play cards (Bid Whiz) and to listen to old school music. She knew all the words to the songs.
Liz always cherished her time with family. She couldn’t wait for Gracie’s Grandkids Day every year. It’s our special day to connect with family and show love for one another. Her love was also shown to friends who she made family by always being there for them. She was great cook and she would let you know that her chess pies were “the bomb”.
She departed this life on Thursday November 12, 2015 at 9:03am surrounded by family and friends.
She leaves to cherish in her memory her daughter, Eugenia, son Antwan; grandchildren, Zoe Elizabeth, Zaria Lynn, Mya Elizabeth, Addison Grace and Kaden Xavier (Michelle); siblings, Leonard, Teresa, Arlinda (Bert), Larry, Allan (Retina), Lois (Terry), Janet Scisney Johnson, and a host of other family members and special friends
