Elizabeth Ann Nebeker Sever, aged 73, of Gibsonia, PA, passed away February 14th, 2021 at UPMC Presbyterian Hospital with her loved ones around her.  She was born April 3, 1947 in Salt Lake City, Utah.  She grew up in Arizona and California and was a proud alumni of Camelback High School in Phoenix, AZ.  She graduated from Arizona State University and spent her early career working as a model in the Phoenix area, which eventually led to a contract with the Eileen Ford modeling agency that took her to New York, Paris, and Milan.  She then worked briefly in real estate and later founded Plaza Designs, a fine jewelry business, which she operated for 40 years.

She was an artist, animal lover, gourmet cook, avid runner, and exercise enthusiast.  She traveled extensively with her husband of 27 years, Mark Sever, and collected art from all over the world.  In addition to her husband, Mark, of Pittsburgh, she is survived by two sons: Zac Shoush and his wife Angela of Los Angeles, and Trevor Shoush and his wife India and daughter Sienna, also of Los Angeles.  She is also survived by her brother, Bill Nebeker and his wife Janelle, of Phoenix, and her mother Claudia Graef and her husband David, of Scottsdale, AZ.

Due to the covid pandemic, a celebration of Liz’s life will be held later in the year.  The family will announce details and select charity for donations in Liz’s honor at that time.
