LIZ MCBRIDE Forum Chelsea lost one of its all-time greats this week with the passing of Elizabeth “Liz” McBride on Monday morning at the age of 100. Liz served on the Chelsea School Committee for decades and was instrumental in forwarding the Chel- sea-Boston University Partnership in the 1990s that transformed our school system, paving the way both for new schools and new leadership that rescued the once- proud Chelsea schools after years of neglect. Liz was a true Chelsea girl, a member of the CHS Class of 1939, who referred to themselves as the ‘39ers and who continued to gather for decades after their graduation. Liz McBride blazed a trail in many respects, includ- ing becoming the first female member of the Chelsea Kiwanis Club. In the political realm, Liz was a fierce rival who stood up for what she believed in, but at the end of the day, she possessed that admirable quality of being able to disagree without being disagreeable. Liz was the matriarch of a large and extended family who resided on Sagamore Ave. in Prattville for many years. She was married for 67 years to John McBride, who passed away 10 years ago at the age of 90. We know we join with all of our fellow residents in offering our condolences to the McBride family upon the loss of this wonderful woman. May she rest in peace.
