Elisabeth “Liz” was born in Iowa City, to Christopher and Jan (Alexander) Treiber, on September 24, 1979. Liz grew up in Sioux City, where she attended St. Joesph Catholic School, Heelan High School, and graduated in 1997 from North High School. Liz loved reading, dogs, researching ancestry, traveling, shopping, and eating out at her favorite restaurants. Liz gave birth to two beautiful girls Grace Ann Marie (2010), and Norah Patricia (2014). Liz lived here in Sioux City most of her life, aside from residing in Phoenix, Arizona for a few years in her twenties. Liz worked in retail in her younger years, and moved on to receiving her Paralegal degree from WIT.

Liz always asked others to bring the positivity and sunshine to the table during her fight with cancer. Her motto was always “it will be fine”, and she was a true warrior. In the last year of her life, Liz found true love and an earth angel in her partner Jason Schnee. Jason and Liz shared a lot of great, fun, and loving memories during their time together.

Liz was a wonderfully humorous soul, who always enjoyed time with her family and friends. She was always quick to be in action to be there for people in their time of need, and had a fierceness that burned inside of her like none other. Anyone who shared a relationship with Liz will miss her immensely, and times will surely be duller without her humor and laughter, but we will keep her close in our hearts forever.

Liz is survived by her two little girls Grace and Norah, who are our rainbows in the storm, parents Christopher Treiber and Jan Alexander, grandmother Patricia Treiber, brother Christopher (Tara) Treiber, and two nephews Sullivan and Harrison, sister Ali (Trevor) Osterholt, and many beloved aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Liz was preceded in death and welcomed with open arms by her grandpa Ralph Treiber, grandpa Harold Alexander, grandma Lillian Alexander.
