Elizabeth A. Luksha

COLEBROOK – Elizabeth A. Luksha, 73, of Colebrook, died unexpectedly at her home on Tuesday evening, Dec. 16, 2025. She was born in Brooklyn, N.Y., on Sept. 15, 1952, a daughter to the late William and Elizabeth A. (McCarroll) Sullivan. She grew up in the San Francisco Bay area and always had a fondness for California, although she never returned to live there. Instead, after high school, she attended college for a couple of years and then joined the U.S. Navy. Liz always had a sense of adventure and a deep-rooted thirst for world travel. She served in the Navy for 13 years in aviation operations and achieved the rank of Petty Officer First Class (AZ1). She absolutely loved Spain and when stationed in Rota, Spain, she met her husband, Joseph Luksha. They were married for 40 years and raised four children together: Joseph, Jason, Brian, and Victoria. Liz and Joe eventually settled in Port Charlotte, Fla., after a few years back in Joe’s home territories of Massachusetts and New Hampshire. They started a successful home medical equipment company and after selling the business and retiring they travelled the country in an RV and came to northern NH, where Joe had spent a lot of time in his youth hunting and fishing. Liz fell in love with the natural beauty of the area and often would watch sunsets from her home which has a view of Monadnock Mountain and where she could often sit by the warmth of a campfire. She returned back to Spain two years ago and had plans to go yet again with family. She enjoyed helping others, and was sharp with numbers and puzzles. She was a member of the local Community Baptist Church in Colebrook. Elizabeth is survived by her husband Joseph (Joe) Luksha, brother William (Billy) Sullivan, sisters Mary and Jeannie, and her four children, six grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren. At her specific request, there are no public services scheduled. Expressions of sympathy in memory of Liz may be made to the American Cancer Society, online at www.cancer.org, or by mail at P.O. Box 10538, Bedford, NH 03110. Condolences may be offered to the family on-line by going to www.jenkinsnewman.com. Arrangements are entrusted to the care of Jenkins & Newman Funeral Home in Colebrook.
