     Elizabeth Lolah Smith JOHNSVILLE: Elizabeth L. Smith Poff Sigler, 88, former Johnsville resident, died Friday morning May 19, 2006 in her Silver Springs, Florida home following a short illness. She was born October 15, 1917 in Pulaskiville to William Harrison and Florence Anna (Allen) Smith, and was graduated from Johnsville High School in 1935.

Following her retirement, she began spending winters in Bokeelia, Florida and moved to Silver Springs, Florida, permanently in the early 1980s.

Early in her life, Elizabeth had enjoyed her bowling leagues, and more recently liked to go fishing, or spend an afternoon at the dog tracks. An avid reader of romance and Indian novels, she also enjoyed crossword puzzles and any opportunity to play Bingo or Euchre. She will be remembered for loving kindness, and a few jokes. Her cooking will be sorely missed ~ especially her homemade noodles and lemon meringue pie.
