A love story: Legacy will continue helping seniors
By Sharon Davidson
SPECIAL TO ACTIVE LIVING
Generous donors
recently established an
endowment in honor of
William H. Moncrief
for his constant dedica-
tion to Elder Care Ser-
vices. The endowment
helps secure Elder
Care Services’ mission
to “improve the qual-
ity of life for seniors.” It
represents security for
the future, as well as
30-plus years of passion
for helping seniors.
Elizabeth Anne
“Liz” Ward Moncrief,
a native of Fort Myers,
moved to Tallahassee
in 1964 when husband,
Bill, took a job with the
Florida Department of
Education. In 1973, the
Senior Society Plan-
ning Council called
for volunteers to help
launch the new Meals
on Wheels program in
Leon County and Liz
was one of the first to
respond.
Bill and Liz grew up
together but were not
childhood sweethearts.
It was only after they
became partners in
square dancing that
they fell in love and got
married. Once in Tal-
lahassee, they became
a regular part of many
community organiza-
tions. For 28 years, Liz
devoted many hours
helping seniors by
delivering Meals on
Wheels weekly and
planning activities at
the Adult Day Care.
She served five terms
on the board of what
was then called the
Senior Society Plan-
ning Council, later to
become Elder Care Ser-
vices. Liz lost her fight
with breast cancer in
2001.
Bill Moncrief, center, is surrounded by family members. Pictured, from left, grandchildren
Catherine and Will, son Ward and wife Aren, in front, Bill, and son Marc and his wife, Sherry.
Bill and Liz were
married nearly 44
years. He continues
her passion for helping
seniors and impacting
their lives. Bill joined
the Elder Care Ser-
vices Board of Direc-
tors in March 2003.
Since then, he has vol-
unteered for Meals on
Wheels and fundrais-
ers, and served on com-
mittees, including the
Senior Volunteer Advi-
sory Committee, which
guides policy for senior
volunteer programs
such as Foster Grand-
parents and Senior
Companions.
As an active partici-
pant of Elder Cares’
Retired Senior Volun-
teer Program (RSVP),
Bill was a reading men-
