On Tuesday, Sept. 30, 2008, Elizabeth Diana "Beth" Leizear departed this life to be with the other angels. Beth Leizear was gravely injured on Sunday, Sept. 28, in an automobile accident while responding to a call for her community while at work for Dodson Security Agency. Beth took absolute pride in wearing her uniform and answering her community's calls for help. Born in Burbank, Calif., March 10, 1971, Beth moved to Virginia with her husband in 1994, after his enlistment in the Air Force was up. She quickly adapted to the Virginia way of life. She embraced it, and in no time could anyone have guessed that she was California-born and raised. Beth was an outstanding and devoted mother, wife, employee and friend to many. She leaves behind her husband of 14 years, John, who is a member at Lake of the Woods Fire Company 29; and two precious daughters, Brooke and Kaitlyn, who were her life. Her presence will forever be felt by all those she has known and touched through her years as a resident of Lake of the Woods and Orange County. Beth was an avid Redskins fan, as well as a racing fan, whether it be NASCAR, NHRA or the local dirt tracks. Beth thought of others before she ever thought of herself, and she proved this again as she had one more selfless act she performed before she left our earthly world. Beth held on long enough to donate her heart to a young girl in need of a transplant. She will forever be remembered by her family, peers and her husband's fire company that responded to her call for help on Sunday. Beth has answered her final call and can now rest peacefully, knowing she did a fine job protecting and serving her family, friends and community. "We will always love and miss you, sweetheart." The family wishes to thank L.O.W Fire Station members for their unwavering support and kindness in helping John and the girls through this tragic time in their lives. Not once did they leave the families alone at the accident scene or at the hospital, providing 24-hour-a-day coverage until Beth's passingThe Leizear Family Trust Fund Poker Run And Southern Rock Concert This Spring 2009   VeTunes Radio along with friends from The Southern Rock Society have join forces with The Red Knights Motor Cycle Club too Host a upcoming benefit Poker Run & Southern Rock concert in honor of The Elizabeth Leizear Trust Fund and all our fallen public service heroes !!Everyone Is Invited !
