Elizabeth Benjamin John

We are saddened by the loss of Elizabeth Benjamin John who passed away peacefully on Feb. 11 surrounded by her beloved family.

After getting married in 1967, she and her husband moved from India to the U.K. and later to Port Huron in 1976. While raising her family, she earned her MBA from University of Detroit and used her business acumen to manage her husband’s (Dr. Benjamin John) medical practice. Over the years, she became president of the Port Huron chapter of Toastmasters in 1995, the president of the board of the Bluewater Clinic from 1996 to 1998, and a teacher at Baker College of Port Huron in oral communications.

Her favorite pastimes were hosting elaborate dinner parties, tending to her beautiful garden, Zumba, Port Huron Formal Dance Club, running 5Ks, and swimming in her beloved Lake Huron.
