Obituary

In loving memory of Elisabeth Maria Ayres (née de Blank).

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our wife and mum, Lis.

Wife to Harry.
Mum to Daniel, Michael, Sam, Katherine and Tom.
Mother-in-law to Danielle, Bronte and Greg.
Oma to Justin, Braydon, Tyler and Bella-Rose; Deken, Lilie, Annie and Bella; Ben and Luke.
Great Oma to Leilani.
Sister and sister-in-law to Jack and Dawn, Joanne and Marcus, Andy and Chris.

Words can't express our pain and sorrow at her sudden passing, and we thank everyone for their love and support throughout this time.

Mum loved her family deeply and would go above and beyond to help in any way. A wicked sense of humour, she would give it back as good as we gave it.

Many around town knew she loved a good chat, and was always quick to tell people about her kids' and grandkids' accomplishments, big or small.

She will live on through our beautiful memories.

We would love for you to share your memories and photos of mum with us.

Please join us for relaxed gathering to chat and remember Lis at the York Recreation and Convention Centre, from 1-3pm on Saturday 19 September 2026.

I’m deeply sorry for the loss of your beautiful mumma and wife, uncle Harold, Daniel, Kathrine, Micheal, Sam and Tom.
I have beautiful fun memories growing up with you all, aunty Liz to me was always such a strong woman, we shared the same birthday and growing up she always sent me a birthday card with 5 or 10 dollars in it every year.
She messaged me this year on my birthday, which surprised me as I hadn’t seen or heard from her for many years.
I wish I could of seen her again
RIP aunty Lis

I will miss having a talk with mum down the street. She always had a story to tell and how proud she was of you. ❤️ She loved all the kids.

My deepest condolences 💐
Omg I wouldn’t even know where to start with the many many stories I could share that Katherine and I got up to growing up with Lis catching us “what are you girls doing now?”
“Have you asked your mum?” “Yes it’s okay” (never asked mum) -Katherine would understand.
Lis and I would have many chats and so many stories was shared over the years

Lis will be very much missed
Sending all my love to you all
Rest in Peace to one of a kind such a beautiful lady in and out- will always be loved and missed xoxo
