As a third generation alumna of the Sacred Heart, Elizabeth was a well-written author and a most gracious woman.

On behalf of the Alumanae/i of the Sacred Heart, I wish to extend our sincere condolences to both the Amberg and Murtaugh families.

Elizabeth will be in our thoughts and prayers as we celebrate the upcoming feast day of St. Philippine Duchesne on November 18th.
