Tennyson passes away after battle with cancer

One of Wimberley’s favorite children passed away after multiple battles with cancer.

Lizzie Tennyson, 22, passed away on March 30, 2020.

With the beaming personality of a cheerleader and the heart of a warrior, Tennyson inspired the Wimberley community as she battled cancer throughout her school years and beyond. Rally cries of “Team Lizzie” echoed from the hallways and throughout town.

She was deemed cancer free at one point and began pursuing a college education at the University of Texas, but the cancer returned.

Tennyson was an advocate for many causes including hosting multiple bone marrow donation drives for Be The Match. Pictured above is Tennyson as she prepared for the Beautifully Loved fashion show benefiting the Children’s Blood and Cancer Center.
