Elisabeth was born on May 24, 1988, in Iowa City, Iowa, the daughter of Scott D. and Kristi L. (Booth) Neil. She graduated from Washington High School in 2006. Elisabeth worked at JBS in Ottumwa for several years.
Elisabeth was the type of person to welcome anyone. She was strong-minded. Elisabeth had five beautiful children and three stepchildren. She loved going on adventures and making memories with her family. She was always the one to capture the moments behind the camera. You could always find her at the park or at kids’ birthday parties playing with the children. She was very crafty and loved to be out in nature. When it was warm outside, you could find her at the lakes playing in the sand or swimming with the kids.
She is survived by her daughter, Kailey (Ben) Schlatter of Olds, Iowa; son, Kaeden Connelly of New London, Iowa; son, Kendall Connelly of New London, Iowa; daughter, Raedyn Ervin of Mt.
