Born in DeSoto, Texas, Elizabeth sought training as a nurse at the College of Industrial Arts in Denton, Texas. Upon completing her education, she joined the United States Army as a nurse in 1918, but was discharged due to poor eyesight after two years of service. Elizabeth then spent three years in schools across America teaching blind children, before moving to Guangzhou, China in 1933 to pursue missionary work.[1] World War II disrupted Elizabeth's missionary work in Asia, causing her to flee or relocate several times. Prior to the break out of the Second Sino-Japanese War, Elizabeth fled in 1938 from Guangzhou to Hong Kong. She moved once more to Macau before settling in Guilin. After spending some time in India, Elizabeth returned to the United States in 1944. [2] [3]By 1949, Elizabeth was the only Churches of Christ missionary in Hong Kong, where she remained until 1967. Elizabeth died on December 12, 1971 and was buried in Happy Valley on Hong Kong Island.[4][2] References1. ^{{Cite book|title=The Churches of Christ|last=Hughes|first=Richard T.|last2=Roberts|first2=R.L.|publisher=Greenwood Press|year=2001|isbn=0313233128|location=Westport, CT|pages=174}} {{Christianity-bio-stub}}{{WQA in progress}}2. ^1 {{Cite news|url=|title=Hong Kong Kall: China For Christ|last=Forsythe|first=Chuck|date=Summer 1991|work=Elizabeth Bernard's Legacy|access-date=}} 3. ^Cubstead, L.; Bennett W., "Foreign Evangelism Of The Churches of Christ: 1959-'60" (1960).
