Elizabeth Diana Trierweiler, age 6, of Urbandale, IA, passed away peacefully in the presence of her loving family on January 9, 2013. She touched countless lives with her own and was an inspiration to all that knew her.
Elizabeth was born on January 27, 2006, in Des Moines, IA, to Markjon and Jacqueline (Cotter) Trierweiler. She attended Walnut Hills Elementary School and participated in Dance without Limits.

In her short life, Elizabeth traveled extensively to faraway places like St. Martin, Maine, Florida, New York, California, Arizona, Minnesota, and Michigan. She participated in Special Olympics, rode horses, and loved to swim, boat, and water-tube. Her favorite cartoon character was her beloved “Elmo.” She loved visiting Disneyland, Disney World, and Mall of America, and especially loved water and amusement rides.

What a blessing she was to so many. And what a blessing you have been to her to offer her so many opportunities in such a short time. Jacki, you told me you didn't know how many days you would have but that you would live each one to the fullest. I believe you have exceeded that goal, and can now carry so many precious memories of her with you. I am sorry for your grief and celebrating her healing in heaven. I pray that you will feel the love that is surrounding you right now.
