Elizabeth AUSTIN Obituary

I was so sad to hear of Liz’s passing. I was told most people were not even aware she was ill, and that was Liz in true fashion. I spent a few years working with Liz at Telecom Directories (Yellow Pages) where she stated as an administrator. Well she certainly rose to great heights ending up in the Executive Group! Her infectious smile and jovial nature I will never forget. Rest easy Elizabeth.

So sorry to hear of Liz's passing, she was my Manager at Yellow for 7 years and was always so good to me, even when I resigned one time and left and the job fell through she grabbed me back no questions asked.. brilliant Manager, kind wonderful lady, my deep condolences to Liz's family. Rest in peace xx

Such an honour to have worked under such an inspirational lady, when ever you entered the room your presence was felt by your professional stature, flare of fashion, infectious laugh, hearty smile and of course your amazing perfume. I remember the conversations we had re the West Coast and the great times you had there. RIP Liz, love to Connor and your Family.

What an remarkable women !!!
Liz enriched my life in so many ways and I feel truly blessed to have had the opportunity to be under her guidance whilst at Yellow. Her support made a tremendous impact on what I was able to achieve. She encouraged me to take on challenges that I often doubted my abilities for, and her love and support drove me to achieve more than I ever thought possible.
Her loss has been felt far and wide and the amazing messages that people have put on our shared Yellow facebook page about their memories of her are a true reflection of how many people she made such a difference for.
Sending my dearest condolences to all. Xxx She will NEVER be forgotten. Rest easy Liz.

Liz was so much more than a manager to me. She was a mentor and a friend who expected your absolute best at all times & who always got you to deliver way more than you ever thought you could. I'll never know what she saw in me when she interviewed me, but she took a punt & was instrumental in my career in sales. Yellow Pages CHCH & her sales teams were never the same after she moved to Auckland. She was irreplaceable, dynamic, inspirational, compassionate & had an impact on everyone that she met. Rest in peace Liz you very special lady.

Sending love to Liz's family. I worked with Liz at yellow in the 90s...she and I became managers around the same time so were often on projects together...she was awesome! A shining light ❤

She made me laugh, she made me accountable, she made me work overtime, she made me cry, and she always had my back - beautiful memories of a beautiful lady ❤

I had the pleasure of meeting Liz when I was working at Yellow in Auckland. When you had your doubts about what you could achieve Liz was always there to make you face things head on and give advice that has lasted many many years. Always so generous with her time and her investment in people who wanted to learn. When she walked into a room people would notice (and her gorgeous perfume Narciso Rodriguez the pink one ). Thank you for mentoring me Liz. It meant the world. You will always be remembered. Beautiful inside and out. Xxxx

Much love

Im so sorry for your loss. I use to work with Liz and Judith at Yellow Pages, ChCh back in the early 90s. Very shocked to read obituary. Lovely woman. Gone too soon

My thoughts are with you all. I am so sorry for your loss. Sending love to you all.

Liz, was an amazing woman to have known and worked with. She was all about caring for her people and making them successful. A brilliant mind and beautiful caring at heart. Very strong willed and showed immense courage during the most difficult time. I never had to bother about any task given to her. Her loyalty and commitment to her work was incredible. Personal loss for me and the entire team at Christchurch. I will truly miss her. Kindest thoughts to the family may lord give you all the strength in this time. - Sanjay C
