Elizabeth Margaret Chiles, 11/22/1988-5/30/2026

Our daughter, our sister

Our niece, our cousin

Our friend

We are heartbroken.

We are so grateful for Liz.

And for the bright, beautiful, creative community that she wove around her wherever she went.

We are loved.

You are loved.

She is survived by her parents, her siblings: Anna Faucett , Steve Jacobsen (Julie), Will Chiles, John Chiles, Mary Ellen Chiles, and Ingrid Chiles. Many aunts and uncles, cousins, nephews and nieces, and countless friends near and far. Liz was remarkable in many ways.

Elizabeth was predeceased by her grandparents and two cousins. In a last generous act, Liz requested that her body be donated to University of Missouri Medical School for cancer research.
