Mary Liz was born to Irene Ota Wilsey Jeffers (deceased) and William Pearl Jeffers (deceased) on September 11, 1919, in Argyle, Iowa. She grew up on a working farm with her siblings Gertrude Jeffers McCarty (deceased), Pearl Junior Jeffers (deceased), William Allison Jeffers (deceased), Neva Jeffers Springer, and Joann Jeffers Evans. While growing up on the farm she and her family were surrounded by cousins and extended family. She graduated from high school in Argyle, Iowa and from The Burlington School of Cosmetology. Married to Victor A. Case (deceased), she gave birth to 7 children. Mary Liz and her husband moved their family from Keokuk, Iowa to Southern California and lived in the areas of El Monte, Baldwin Park, West Covina, and Westminster. Aside from being a homemaker raising a large family, Mary Liz assisted her husband with the administrative responsibilities of running their own plastering contracting business. In her later years she worked for and retired from the Whittier Unemployment Office. She was blessed with 18 grandchildren, 21 great-grandchildren, and 7 great-great grandchildren. Treasuring life with family and friends, she also enjoyed gardening, playing games, crafting, painting, listening to music, singing, traveling, and was an excellent dancer. She especially loved going with her family to the beach or the local mountain community of Crestline. In her senior years some of her favorite trips were her travels back and forth from California and Iowa, visiting Colorado, Hawaii, Florida, and Arizona. Stylish clothing, getting her hair and nails done and opening pretty wrapped packages were just a few of her favorite things. She was competitive and was on a women's bowling league. Holidays were special to her and it was great fun for her to come up with wacky ideas for Halloween costume contests. Whenever she entered a contest she would always come out a first place winner! The San Gabriel Tribune newspaper featured her in an article because she had backed into and broke open a fire hydrant in their front lawn. It made for a fabulous play day with the spraying of the water from the broken hydrant for all the neighborhood kids to run through. She was runner up in Queen for a Day on TV and was lucky enough to fly on the same plane with Ricky Nelson. Hollywood hired her as an extra in the made for TV Karen Carpenter movie. Fun and laughter pleased her and she was known to drop everything in a minutes' notice to go on an adventure. Mary Liz was a 14 year resident of Country Villa Nursing Home and during that time made many friends and endeared herself to staff. Her eyes would light up when she saw family, friends, and their pets coming in for a visit. She has been deeply loved and treasured and will forever be in our hearts.
