Elizabeth Ann (Belladonna) Bird

It is more of a blessing to give than to receive - Acts 20:35

Elizabeth Ann Belladonna Bird passed away on February 15, 2025 at the age of 82. She passed away peacefully at home surrounded by loved ones.

Elizabeth was born in Huntington, West Virginia and moved to Atlanta around age 8 where she

attended Saint Thomas More and Saint Pius X High School. After a date, she was continuously

pursued by her date’s best friend which turned into marriage and 6 beautiful daughters. Lloyd

grew to be her greatest and only love. It was during this time that Elizabeth truly learned to give

rather than receive; Always thinking of and taking care of others rather than herself. She also

took in and raised her three nieces, to which she loved unconditionally in her beautiful, maternal

way. Her generosity knew no bounds. She was a loving mother and grandmother, “Gigi”, and a

beautiful soul who had an uncanny way of listening to anyone and providing consolement. Her

radiant smile, classic and elegant dress and beauty lit up every room she entered.

Elizabeth enjoyed soaking in the sun, playing bridge with her best friends, baking and cooking

delicious “famous” meals, attending plays, and playing with her 13 grandchildren. She was an

amazing dancer and taught her wonderful piano skills to others. She also sang at Sunday

masses. Elizabeth was the best friend to many and to each of her daughters (all of whom wished to be her favorite). 

Elizabeth was a devout Catholic who wore her faith like a cloak of bravery, truth and hope, no matter the circumstance. 

With her indomitable positive attitude, sheer mock power and

unwavering patience, she handled the hard stuff well, defeating cancer earlier in life.

Elizabeth is survived by her husband Lloyd, her six daughters, three nieces, 13 grandchildren

and 7 great grandchildren. Her departure comes as a great shock and deep wound and is

greatly felt by her entire family and countless others who loved her deeply. The family sincerely

appreciates your support.
