Elizabeth (Betty) Catherine Moyer Leach Elizabeth (Betty) Catherine Moyer Leach, age 90, died on February 21, 2019 at the Adler Center in Aldie, VA. She had remained at her home of 59 years in Middleburg, VA, until a few days before her death. Betty was born on March 17th, 1928, just outside of Middleburg to Rosalie and Samuel Moyer. She was a graduate of Aldie High School, and she earned a degree in business from Madison College in Harrisonburg, VA. Betty married the love of her life, Billy Leach, on June 22, 1952. They were married for 56 years until his death in December of 2008. Betty and Billy owned and managed Middleburg Hardware together for over 30 years. They traveled all over the world, but home was always Betty’s favorite place. Betty was an avid gardener and had quite a green thumb. At one time, her back yard was filled with tulips and daffodils which had grown from the hundreds of bulbs she bought on a trip to Holland. Betty was baptized and became a member of her beloved Middleburg Baptist Church on November 14, 1943. Over the years she had several roles at the church, including many years as treasurer, Sunday School teacher and deacon. Betty and Billy were the first couple to both serve as deacons in the church. For many years, Betty and other Loudoun ladies gathered each week and baked cookies that were sold at Nancy’s Cookies in Leesburg. The funds raised played a major part in building a senior center for the county. Betty’s favorite role was being Billy’s wife, but being a very kind and loving mother, grandmother and great-grandmother was also at the top of her list. Betty is survived by her daughters Nancy Olson and her husband Dan, and Carol McGhee and her husband Doug, all of Middleburg. She was the very proud grandmother of Katie Leach-Kemon (husband Mark Johnson), Sarah Caras (husband Jeff Caras), Erin Leach-Kemon (husband Matt Logalbo), and Becky Olson. The biggest joys in her later years were her great-grandchildren Hayley Caras, Riley Olson, and Mateo and Neah Johnson. She also leaves her sisters Mary Lee Phelps and Rosalie Schwarz (husband Gene), along with many nieces and nephews and other dear family members. She was predeceased by her parents, Rosalie and Samuel Moyer, her sister Jane Marshall, and her sister Peggy Anne Moyer, who died in infancy. Betty also leaves behind Theodora Annoh, her beloved and dedicated caregiver for over three years. She was preceded in death by her dearest friend, Helen Kirk. Family and friends will be received on Friday, March 1st from 6-8 pm at the Royston Funeral Home, 106 East Washington Street, Middleburg. Funeral services will be held at Middleburg Baptist Church, 209 East Federal Street, Middleburg at 11 a.m on Saturday, March 2nd.
