Betty G. Leigh, 86, died peacefully on June 30, 2020 at her home on Aberdeen Creek. She was preceded in death by her parents, Franklin and Irene German of Dutton and her brother, Donald German. Betty is survived and loved by her husband of 66 years, Thomas Fred Leigh and her 3 children, Teresa Leigh-Zimmerman (Tom), Cathy Walters (John),& David Leigh (Sandy). Her grandchildren and their spouses and great grandchildren brought her great joy. She also leaves behind her brother, Milton German (Gloria), her sister-in-law, Linda German and a large extended family. Betty was mostly a stay at home mom, and some might remember her smile from her working at Riches Supermarket, Roses, Wallace Foods, and Fitchett’s Hardware. She always thought of others first, especially Fred and her children. She and Fred enjoyed many trips together and time spent with family at Nags head. A calm boat ride and reading a good book were also a part of her life. She was of the Baptist faith. A graveside service, officiated by Rev. Mike Gray, will be held Sunday July 5, 2020 at 1:00 p.m. in Rosewell Memorial Garden Cemetery. The family asks that attendees will responsibly wear masks and follow social distancing guidelines. Memorial contributions may be made to Gloucester Volunteer Fire and Rescue Squad, P.O. Box 1417 Gloucester, VA 23061. The family would like to give a special thanks to her caregivers for their loving care for the past 2 years.
