May 4, 1931 – May 10, 2021 Elizabeth Alice Jones, affectionately known as “Lizzy”, was born on May 4, 1931, in Washington, D.C. to Cordella Jones. She grew up in the District of Columbia where she started grade school. At a young age, her family moved to Maryland where she continued her schooling. Her family lived in the community of Cedar Heights, then ultimately settled in Chapel Oaks. At the age of 2, Lizzy was injured in an accident that left her paralyzed on her right side. She spent over one year in the hospital recuperating. Her recovery was long, but she regained use of her right side, with few limitations. As she grew older, she loved being independent and self-sufficient. Lizzy was a shy child but made several friends. Some of her childhood friendships lasted a lifetime. Lizzy attended grade school in both the District of Columbia and Maryland, completing formal schooling to the 9th grade. However, later her interest and career in childcare would lead her to pursue additional education. In 1985, she earned over 60 continuing education credits in Day Care from Prince George’s Community College. She then completed Day Care Staff Training from Prince George’s Community College in 1986. From a young age Lizzy began a career in daycare, starting with babysitting for her many siblings. Over the years she cared for countless children. As her extended family grew, she cared for her nieces and nephews, as well as began caring for the children of friends and neighbors. She cared for her great-nephew before officially retiring. Although she had no children of her own, Lizzy was a nurturing and caring person. Lizzy also worked a few housekeeping jobs before moving on her own. Around the age of 20, Lizzy moved to Addison Chapel Apartments, in Capital Heights, Maryland. Here, she would continue providing daycare. She later moved to Counsel House senior apartments in Temple Hills, Maryland for most of her adult life. After retiring from daycare, Lizzy remained very active. She enjoyed traveling and social activities with the neighbors in her community. She also enjoyed spending time with her family. She was always on the go, enjoying traveling, bus trips, shopping trips, and other group activities. Lizzy’s shyness as a child certainly didn’t carry over into adulthood. She was very outgoing and always ready for a conversation with anyone. As the matriarch of the family, Lizzy was the center of the family’s communication hub - a job she did like no other. Lizzy had a gift for remembering the details of our lives, such as birthdays, phone numbers, family history, and anything you told her. If anyone in the family needed to reach out to another, she knew how to reach them. She was an advisor on just about any topic. You could always rely on Lizzy to be there to listen. She was a surrogate mother to many who knew her and a friend to all. Lizzy was a beacon of light, when you were in darkness, and gave hope when in times of doubt. She didn’t pass judgement and made you feel like you could come to her no matter what. She was also very feisty, and never had a problem telling you what she wanted. She was also kind, selfless, giving, and remained sharp as a tack. She was a faithful sister, aunt, friend, and confidant. Lizzy is preceded in death by her mother, Mrs. Cordella (Jones) Corum, sister Zora Hamilton, sister Ella Mae Spence, brother Earl Jones, and sister Bertha Yvonne Mason-Jackson. She is survived by her sisters, Mrs. Margie Holland and Mrs. Sylvia Stevens-Claiborne, her brothers George Corum Jr. (Carrie) and Tyrone Corum (Mary), and a host of family and friends.
