Elizabeth Anne was born December 20, 1988 to Thomas Fatticci and Margo Briese in Mankato, MN. She graduated from Mankato West High School. Elizabeth was baptized at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church. She lived by her faith, had favorite prayers she'd say morning and night, and loved to attend Easter Vigil. Elizabeth "believed in angels" as she shared in her solo performance of "I Have a Dream" with Aktion Club Theatre of Mankato. This organization brought her great joy. Elizabeth had a heart of gold even though her favorite color was orange. She was happy, strong, and lived life to the fullest. Elizabeth enjoyed watching the Moondogs, visiting her many friends at the mall, and shopping for shoes. She was friends with everyone, always remembered their names and that special something that made them unique.
The most brief encounter with Elizabeth would touch your heart forever.

Elizabeth will also be missed by her aunts, uncles, and cousins.
