Liz was born Sept. 22, 1940, in Bedford, Iowa, the daughter of James and Adah (Allison) Taylor. She graduated from Bedford High in 1959. She was united in marriage to William Eugene "Gene" Zieglowsky on July 26, 1959, in Bedford.

Liz worked various places in Washington and she owned and operated Zieglowsky Home Furnishings and Zieglowsky Landscaping and Trucking with her husband Gene. Upon the birth of her first grandchild, she quit all her jobs and became a full-time grandma, taking care of her grandchildren.

Liz was a member of Faith Baptist Church. She served on various committees, taught Sunday school, served weekly dinner to the Wednesday night Trendsetters youth group and was willing to help out whenever and wherever she could.

She was a huge supporter of Washington athletics and attended every game her family participated in or coached, with rare exception.
