It was 2020 when Elizabeth, Liz, Benton was diagnosed with breast cancer.

Her husband Rev. David L. Benton became her primary caretaker while running a business amidst a newly declared pandemic. Liz said Women of Hope, a breast cancer foundation out of Montgomery, provided her and her family continuous support throughout her treatment process.
