Rebecca Catherine Leonard (Dorfmeier)

This obituary was written by my brother Jared:


Our sweet Rebecca passed away on Tuesday, September 29, 2009. She was born on November 13, 1978, here in Fresno, Ca.

Rebecca will always be remembered for her beautiful smile and her sweet nature. Becca had a great ability to always make people feel welcome and loved. It is her kind, warm, spritely spirit that gave her the ability to be a wonderful, wife, mother, granddaughter, daughter, sister and especially friend.

Becca had a great passion for education and her children. In 2003, she received her BA in psychology from California State University, Fresno. She graduated with honors and as secretary in her student organization. However, over the past seven years her true enjoyment has been in the raising of her three children with Jared, her husband of nine years.

Becca will certainly be called blessed by many generations to come. She was loved by all who knew her. May she rest in her Heavenly Father's care until she can be reunited with her husband and children. She is survived by her husband Jared; and their three children Elijah (age seven), and twin daughters, Rachel and Lauren (age four).

Visitation will be held at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Peachwood Ward, Fresno North Stake Center, 220 N. Peach, Clovis, CA. 93612 on Monday, October 5, 2009, from 12:00 noon to 12:45 p.m

A Memorial Service will begin in the Chapel at 1:00 p.m. at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Interment will follow at Clovis District Cemetery.

Remembrances may be made to the Rebecca Leonard Memorial Fund, Account #1032008, at Golden One Credit Union, 1030 Shaw Ave, Clovis, Ca 93612. PALM MEMORIAL CHAPEL 2983 Tulare Street Fresno, Ca. (559)233-7267

How Quickly Things Can Change

When it comes to our lives we move through each day thinking there will be a next. I think we take for granted those around us that we love. I been thinking a lot this week as my sister in law Becca has been fighting for her life. How quickly things can change, how you never know day from day. Becca was so young, only 30, she was a mother of 3 beautiful children, a 7 year old boy and 4 year old twins girls.

Now my thoughts are with my brother Jared and the things he will have to face as he moves forward from this place. He will miss his sweetheart greatly but knows she is free of her pains. I am so grateful to have the gospel in my life, to know the plan and to know they will be together again as a family.

I pray we will look at each day as a gift to be cherished and not wasted away in trivial things. I hope we can all love one other and serve each other and how important it is to make memories each day.
