Elizabeth Nina Anne (Boxall) Ghest
Obituary
Elizabeth Nina Anne Ghest passed away peacefully on September 18, 2023 at the age of 86. Elizabeth was born in Bracknell, England on June 14, 1937, and grew up there with her parents, Ernest Charles and Hilda May Boxall and dear sister, Ruth. She married Robert Clive Ghest on March 9, 1963, and they moved to Ontario, Canada in 1965 and had their first of three daughters, Amanda Elizabeth in 1966. They moved to the United States to Campbell, California in 1967 and Lisa Katherine and Susan Christine were born in 1967 and 1971 respectively. The Ghest family resided in Saratoga, California on Sobey Road for over 25 years and Elizabeth later lived in Los Gatos and Santa Cruz.
Elizabeth enjoyed attending St. Andrews Episcopal church each Sunday, playing tennis, celebrating every event and holiday and, most of all, being with her family. She had a loving heart and exuded kindness to those she met and knew, and her infectious laugh would fill the room.
Elizabeth is survived by her immediate family, her daughter's spouses, Luis, Richard, and Shane, her five grandchildren, Olivia, Julian, Ellis, Elsa and Aisling, her niece Pam, nephew Steven and their families. She is dearly missed by her family both in the U.S. and abroad and will forever live through our loving memories.
Memorial celebration of life will be held at St. Andrew's Episcopal Church in Saratoga on January 6, 2024 at 1pm.
