Elizabeth graduated from Weldon High School in 1948 and St. Mary’s

was spending time with family and friends. All who experienced the warm
embrace of her gracious hospitality were truly blessed. Elizabeth enjoyed
serving in her community as a member of Spring United Methodist Church,
the Riparian Women’s Club, the Women’s Committee of the Greensville
County Farm Bureau, a Girl Scout leader, and a Cub Scout leader. In 1983
she began a Real Estate career in Emporia, VA which provided numerous
opportunities for her to welcome and befriend many newcomers.
A special thanks is extended to the caregivers who loved and cared for our
Mother while she was on hospice. Your compassion and many acts of
kindness were a blessing.
