Lizzie Hamilton “Liz” Eastham, 74, of Amissville, Virginia passed away on Friday, March 29, 2024 at Encompass Heath and Rehabilitation Hospital in Aldie, Virginia.
Liz was born on March 28, 1950 in Front Royal, Virginia to the late William Sr. and Jacqueline Massie Eastham. Liz loved working with children and operated a pre-school at Red Hill Farm before joining the Rappahannock Public School System, working there until retirement. She was a graduate of Southern Seminary and a member of Trinity Episcopal Church.
One of her favorite things to do was to take trips and travel to unique places in Virginia. She enjoyed tending her flower garden and going out with friends. Liz recently became active with the Rappahannock Senior Center and enjoyed their programs immensely. Liz loved cats and her beloved Honey Bunches was always be her side.
Survivors include her brother, William Eastham Jr. (Vickie); sister, Marion Sharp (William); two nephews, William Eastham III (Meghan) and William Sharp Jr. and two nieces, Shannon Greene (Jeff) and Katie Sharp Bailey (Stuart) and numerous great nieces and nephews.
A celebration of life will take place later in the spring at Red Hill Farm in Amissville.

I was so said to hear the passing of Ms. Lizzie. She was such a sweet and outgoing lady. She will be missed. Love, Sharon and Sheila
I was so saddened to learn of Liz’s death. I got to know Liz when we were taking water exercise classes. She loved being around people. I know she enjoyed going to the senior center when she gave up the water classes. I’ll miss seeing her at our monthly (splash buddies)lunches
and our phone chats., making her chocolate chip cookies and pound cake She talked about her family often. She was a good friend. My prayers are with all of her family during this time.

Dear Dunny and Marion and families,
I was very sad to read of Lizzie’s death. I was in class at JMU with her. I am a Rappahannock Co. H.S. graduate (class of 1968).
I am including you in my prayers as you go through this sad time.

I was so sorry to hear about Liz. We worked together at RCES. We had a lot of laughs together. I pray that God will give you strength, comfort and peace.
