Mary was born on November 5th, 1925 in Saint John, NB to the late Henry and Gertrude (Leger) Thibodeau of Randolph Saint John. Liz was a truly devoted wife and mother. She had a very special relationship with Al, they were so in-love and when he passed away in 1979, she vowed to wait for him until they were reunited again in Heaven. Liz was a great dart player; she played in tournaments all over the country. She made many friends from dart tournaments.

She started playing darts through her life-long membership with the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #2. Liz also enjoyed watching tennis, she watched all the tournaments and knew all the players, tennis could keep her busy for hours.
