Leigh Bell Meabon Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

North Augusta, SC—Graveside Services for Mrs. Leigh Bell Meabon, who entered into rest April 23, 2022, will be conducted Wednesday morning at 11 o’clock in Pineview Memorial Gardens with Chaplain Linny Ward officiating. The family will receive friends immediately following the service. Leigh graduated from North Augusta High School and the University of South Carolina. She worked at the Department of Social Services in Aiken as a social services specialist. Her most fulfilling job was staying home with her only daughter, Kathleen, until she reached school age. Her career ended having worked in billing at Davis Hauling Co., in Augusta, GA with 23 years of service. She was always early to work and worked diligently each day. She treated everyone with kindness and respect. Customers and fellow employees could depend on her. Leigh was a member of First Baptist Church of North Augusta, but had most recently attended Warren Baptist, Augusta, GA. While at FBCNA, she helped in the preschool area, GA’s and most recently volunteered listening to children recite Bible verses. She also was a secretary in several adult Sunday School classes through the years. Leigh was a secretary and greeter with the Augusta Christian Singles. She met her husband, David at ACS and was re-married a year later. David did everything possible to make her life with pancreatic cancer easier. These are the details of Leigh’s life, but the beauty of Leigh’s life is described in her gratitude and grace. She was always first to be thankful. Period. For anything small or large. She was the most consistently thankful person many of us will ever know. What a blessing to have known someone who was truly and forever grateful! Leigh also took the commandments to “honor your parents” to heart. She was, without a doubt, the apple of their eyes, and excellent example of a loving daughter. She even treated Mr. Davis, one of her bosses, like a father. He surely loved her like she belonged to him. She fulfilled her other roles just as well. She was something different and something immeasurably special to all of us. There was and will only ever be one “Leigh” to those of us who were blessed to know her. She led with grace. She was quick to overlook others’ weaknesses and always willing to help. She never said an unkind word about anyone. She studied to show herself “approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15. She always had different Bible verses around that she was working on. She was disciplined in her life as she worked hard at taking care of herself physically and spiritually. There is no doubt that she is a child of the King, the Most High God. She has blessed us with love, friendship, care, generosity, beauty, and grace. Our lives will be empty without her, but how we thank God that we had the blessing of knowing her! Heaven will be sweeter, for truly, she is with her Savior and Lord. In true “Leigh fashion.” she would like to thank everyone who helped her in her health journey, reminding us that “This is the day the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it.” Psalm 118:24 She was preceded in death by her mother, Dr. Janice P. Bell. Survivors include her husband, David Meabon; her father, James P. Bell, one daughter, Kathleen H. (Cliff) Sherrill; one son, Nick (Amanda) Meabon; one granddaughter, Olivia Meabon; one brother, Mark Bell; her mother-in-law, Ella Adkins; a sister-in law, Cindy Lusk and a host of wonderful cousins.
