She held various positions in the Church as Assistant Chorister under the Late Evangelist Payne. Under the Late Evangelist at Large Conrad Ward, she became Tabernacle Chorister and in 1986 she was elevated to Sister Elder.  She was a faithful daughter. Most of all Sister Elder Elizabeth French lived her life in Love.  She told friends, love ones, and even strangers LOVE YOU!! In her last days Sister Elder was fragile but yet remained strong. It was her Love for the Lord that gave her the peaceful exit like an Angel on July 30th, 2014.
