Elizabeth Ann Gledhill

Elizabeth Ann Gledhill, 35, passed away on January 31, 2026, leaving behind a legacy of warmth and devotion. Born June 11, 1990, in North Carolina, Elizabeth was, above all, sweet, magnetic, and caring. She was most known for the way she cared for her family, giving of herself with quiet strength and an open heart. Friends and loved ones will remember how she could light up a room, offer comfort without being asked, and make every person feel seen.

Elizabeth’s joys were simple and sincere. She found solace in music, camaraderie in video games, and purpose in the long, satisfying days she poured into her restaurant. Her proudest accomplishment was becoming a mother to two strong sons, a role she embraced with boundless love. Those who knew her will recall her playful wit and tender resolve—like the time her tears and fierce loyalty turned a difficult moment into an unexpected reprieve, a small story that says everything about her heart.

Elizabeth is survived by her husband, Steven Gledhill; her beloved sons, Tyler Gledhill and Kayden Palevich; and cherished family including Matt Palevich, Sharon Monroe, Jeff Gledhill, Brooklyn Palevich, and Dehlia. Her home was also brightened by the constant companionship of her pets—Rebar, Cali, and Miss Lovey—who never left her side. She loved deeply and loved widely, and she delighted in reminding those closest to her that love endures even when life is imperfect, often laughing that she adored Steven even in their most exasperating moments.

Above all, Elizabeth will be remembered for the love she carried in her heart and the grace with which she shared it. Plans for a memorial or celebration of life will be announced at a later time. Until then, her family takes comfort in the community of friends and relatives who share their grief and their gratitude for her life. Elizabeth will be missed dearly; she left an indelible footprint on this world.
