Lizzie was buried in Southside Catholic Cemetery in Birmingham. The University of Alabama at Birmingham purchased the cemetery property to build the Alys Stephens Performing Arts Center. Everyone in the cemetery was moved. I have not yet been able to locate Lizzie's final resting place. Elmwood Cemetery says she is not there. Forrest Hills is supposed to be searching, but has not to date called back with results.
