She was born on March 6, 1933 in Wapakoneta, the daughter of the late Fred Sr. and Vivian (Osborne) Fischer. On April 19, 1952 she married Harold Drexler who preceded her in death on July 8, 2000.

Liz worked at the Immaculate Conception Catholic School in Celina; she retired in 2000 after 26 years as the school secretary. Liz spent many years in the bleachers cheering on her children, and later her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, in myriad sporting events and school activities. When not in the stands, she loved playing bridge, doing counted cross-stich, reading a good book or working with jigsaw puzzles. She enjoyed treating family and friends to their favorite baked treats of pie, cake, cookies, donuts, and candy.
