Elizabeth Ann McAlanis
June 4, 1946 - March 14, 2025
Elizabeth Ann McAlanis passed away peacefully surrounded by her loving family on Friday, March 14, 2025. She was 78 years old. Born in Philadelphia, daughter of the late Luther and Mary Lindemuth. She was raised on a farm in Langhorne, where she was a proud graduate of Neshaminy High School, Class of 1964. She was the second owner of her home in Levittown, where she has resided for the past 60 years. Elizabeth was a longtime member at Church of Our Savior. She enjoyed shopping at Giant, playing games on her computer, and talking on the phone. She had a great love for animals, especially her dogs; Sandy, Cinnamon, Peanut and Mickey. She also lovingly hand raised many litters of wild rabbits in her home. She loved hosting holidays and birthday celebrations, and most especially cherished time spent with her family. She was a very dedicated "Gram and GG". Her selflessness, strength, bravery, and determination was unmatched. She will be deeply missed by her family and friends.

No one had more love and dedication to family and extended family than Elizabeth. I will feel here ongoing presence and influence. Thank you, God, for the gift of Elizabeth in our random lives. A life lived beautifully and daringly!

Epitaph by Merrit Malloy
When I die
Give what’s left of me away
To children
And old men that wait to die.
And if you need to cry,
Cry for your brother
Walking the street beside you.
And when you need me,
Put your arms
Around anyone
And give them
What you need to give to me.
I want to leave you something,
Something better
Than words
Or sounds.
Look for me
In the people I’ve known
Or loved,
And if you cannot give me away,
At least let me live on in your eyes
And not your mind.
You can love me most
By letting
Hands touch hands,
By letting bodies touch bodies,
And by letting go
Of children
That need to be free.
Love doesn’t die,
People do.
So, when all that’s left of me
Is love,
Give me away.
