Short answer: she didn't ask for him to save his life.

Long Answer: Up until that point Carlisle had no intentions on turning anyone, but seeing the look in Edward's mother's eyes as she asked him to save her son convinced him to because there was no way he'd survive the flu as a human. He didn't turn Elizabeth because turning Edward was a risk in itself, no need to double it, plus she had died already by the time he turned Edward.
