Ohio resident Elizabeth “Liz” Smith was a volunteer for Girl Scouts, the United Fund and the Salvation army, and an active member of St. Mary Catholic Church.
She was also firmly anti-Trump.
So the humorous mother-of-two, who passed away on Monday, made sure to get in one last dig at the president via her obituary.
“Liz is smiling now, not to be living during the Trump Presidency,” her obituary read.
Her daughter Deborah Lucal explained that Liz was tickled after seeing a similar statement in another obituary, and decided to have it added to her own.
“She doesn’t like the man, she never has, thought he was a pompous ass,” Deborah told the Sandusky Register, of her late mother’s dislike of Trump.
And the Trump dig wasn’t Liz’s only stipulation for her memorial. Deborah said her mother had demanded, “When I go, don’t you dare wear black. It’s going to be a big party.”

The instructions for the funeral services subsequently read, per the obituary, “Visitors are requested to wear red to celebrate Liz’s life.” It was her favorite color.
In addition to being your new hero, Liz was a switchboard operator and served as a volunteer for her local Girl Scout organization for 45 years.
The adventure seeker’s obituary shows her love for travel, with a list of trips including white water rafting in West Virginia and heli-hiking in the Canadian Rockies, which her daughter explained is when “they take you on a helicopter and drop you on a mountain and you hike.” Liz made that impressive trip in her 70s.
Liz passed away at age 87, and is survived by her two children, Deborah Lucal and David Smith; four grandchildren, Nathan Lucal, Shannon Ewell, USMC Sgt. Nathan Ewell and Nanette Sanchez; six siblings Mary Virginia Smith, Edward Hierholzer, Mary Margaret O’Shea, Mary Agnes Hierholzer, John Hierholzer and Mary Specht; and numerous nieces and nephews.
