Elizabeth was born to Michael and Julia (nee Wolfe) Becker on March 24, 1927. She grew up on the Becker family farm at Carmel, SK and attended Highgate Country School, after which she did some domestic work for local families. Elizabeth married Roman Pfeil on November 8, 1948 at Carmel. After they were married they made their home in Humboldt where they raised a family of six children. Other than a short time working outside the home as a cook at the Pioneer Hotel, Liz was a busy and very dedicated homemaker for her family. In 1978 they moved to Saskatoon for Roman’s work however retained the family home that she and Roman had built on 10th Street. After Roman passed away in 1983, Liz remained in Saskatoon until 1988 at which time she decided to move back to the family home in Humboldt and became involved with the CWL, St. Augustine Parish, Legion Ladies Auxiliary, curling, and bowling. In June 2016, Liz moved to Trinity Manor in Saskatoon where she remained until the time of her passing. Liz was well-known for her cooking, baking, and preserves garnered from her large garden. She always looked forward to spring and the upcoming gardening season when she could be outside and enjoy watching her prized garden grow. Family and friends were often paid with buns, cinnamon buns, or pickles as a sign of her appreciation. Visitors were always welcomed and made to feel at home. No one ever left hungry.
