Liz White, Member-at-Large
“Born and raised in the Central Valley of California, I went to college in San Francisco, where I met my late husband. After two degrees, I returned to school to become a nurse. I would then spent a little over 40 years as an operating room nurse (CNOR) in both outpatient and inpatient settings in various clinical and administrative capacities.
After many years in San Francisco, my husband and I decided to move to Seattle. Our two sons both went to the University of Washington and we had many friends in the Pacific Northwest, so in 1995 we resettled in the University District in Seattle. I would work at Northwest Hospital (now called University of Washington, Northwest Campus) until I retired almost 9 years ago.
After retiring, I looked for ways to stay active. I became a member and volunteer at the PNA Village, where I am on a number of committees and lead the Friday walks. I love monitoring the great blue herons at Commodore Park during their nesting season!
I became aware of People’s Memorial Association over 20 years ago, when my late husband entered hospice during the final phase of his cancer journey. The hospice nurses told us about PMA and encouraged us to join. We did and I have been a member since! I’m proud to support PMA both as a donor and as a volunteer on the PMA Finance Committee. As a retired nurse and an elder myself, I am acutely aware of the need to educate and to further our awareness of end of life issues and concerns. The more appropriate information we have, the better we will be to make the best choices for ourselves and your family.
I'm excited to serve as a member of the PMA board!”
