Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas H. Warwick and Gladys McCracken Warwick, was born February 17, 1924, in Medicine Lodge, Kansas. She passed from this life in Alva, Oklahoma, on March 28, 2021, at the age of 97.
Elizabeth grew up on the family farm north of Hardtner, Kansas. She attended school at Canema Country School, Hardtner High School, class of 1942, and the Wichita Hospital School of Nursing, class of 1945. She worked as a Registered Nurse at Kingman Hospital, Kingman, Kansas, Achenbach Hospital, Hardtner, Kansas, and 20 years at Medicine Lodge Hospital, Medicine Lodge, Kansas. She retired in 1986.
While working in Kingman, she met Paul Grice. They married on April 25, 1948, and returned to the family farm in 1952 where they farmed/ranched and raised their four children. Elizabeth and Paul spent 44 years together until his death on November 28, 1992. Elizabeth spent all but ten of her 97 years on that same farm.
