NORWAY – Elizabeth Ann Brook, a resident of Norway, passed away peacefully in the early hours of June 28, 2021. Her final days were spent at Stephens Memorial Hospital culminating a long and courageous battle with cancer.
Liz was born in Providence, R.I. on Feb. 4, 1952, and grew up in Cranston, R.I. She was predeceased by her parents, Arnold and Anita Panicucci.
She graduated from Clark University in 1974 with a B.A. Degree and earned a Masters of Education Degree in 2004. In 1979 Liz began her career in education at S.A.D. #17, retiring in 2007. Most of those years were spent as a second grade teacher at Oxford Elementary School where she was esteemed by all who interacted with her. While there an informal cadre of Liz and her fellow teachers was formed. ‘The Women of the Wing’ provided professional support to each other during their teaching years, but more importantly, stuck together after retirement and provided Liz with an incredible amount of love and emotional support during her long final struggle.
