Elizabeth “Biz” Eppehimer
Biz passed away peacefully on Sunday, August 28 at Luther Acres in Lititz. She was 93.
Born in York to the late Helen and Paul Plymire, she was a 1947 graduate of William Penn High School. She was the widow of the late Howard M. Eppehimer.
Biz was very proud of the fact that she traveled by train to NYC alone as a child for music lessons. She dedicated her life to teaching music. Co-owned Plymire Studios in York with her sister, Jeri Zepp. Biz taught accordion, piano, and guitar. Jeri taught tap, ballet, jazz, and acrobats. Both maintained lifelong friendships who were former students of Plymire Studios. She directed the music program at Calvary United Methodist Church Pre-School until her retirement. Biz had the honor of playing her accordion with members of the Boston Symphony Orchestra several times. Music was her passion and she played her accordion until it became too heavy for her to handle.
Biz is survived by her niece, Kimberly Zepp of Lancaster, nephew, Randolph Zepp of York and great-niece, Abby Elizabeth Breneman of York. She was preceded in death by her parents, husband, sister, Jeri Zepp and brother-in- law, Ralph Zepp.
The family wishes to extend our heartfelt appreciation for the care and compassion shown to Biz by Luther Acres Skilled Nursing and Masonic Village Hospice! Donations can be sent to Luther Acres, 600 E Main Street, Lititz PA 17603 in her memory.
