Elizabeth L. Browning, 73

Elizabeth “Tibby” L. Browning, 73, of 2512 Saddle Dr., Lancaster, PA went to be with her Lord on Wednesday, February 27, 2008.

She was married for 52 years to Kempton “Skip” B. Browning. Born in Philadelphia, she was the daughter of the late J. Perry and Esther J. Long. She graduated from Merchantville (NJ) High School in 1952 and from the University of Pennsylvania Graduate Hospital School of Nursing in 1954.

Tibby retired in 1990 after working for a total of 25 years as a Licensed Practical Nurse, the first 10 years in southern New Jersey and then in the Lancaster area for the balance of her career. She specialized in the field of OB/GYN and family practice at several different private practices in the area.

She enjoyed being a homemaker and a folk art painter. She also enjoyed water aerobics, solving newspaper puzzles, genealogy and traveling and was an avid reader.

Tibby was of the Christian faith.
