Mrs. Sizemore was born in Leesburg, Virginia on February 21, 1924 to the late Roy Deerwood and Agnes (Davis) Fambrough. She grew up in Taylorstown, Virginia; spending much of her time as a young girl working in her father's Taylorstown Store. Mrs. Sizemore was a long time member of the Mt. Pleasant United Methodist Church in Taylorstown. After marrying her late husband, Bernard, they lived in the Lucketts area for many years where they raised their two sons, Bobby and Kenny. She was a loving grandmother to her grandchildren and great grandchildren. She was well liked by everyone in the community who was blessed to know her.

When no longer able to live alone, Mrs. Sizemore made the decision to move to Madison House in Leesburg, Virginia. Soon after moving in, she quickly became a friend to all. She was described as "A Mother Hen" type, tending the needs of those around her. While living at Madison House, she cooked for at least 50% of her neighbors there. She was happiest when doing something nice for someone else; saying 'it made her day'. She also enjoyed her hobby of reading; often doing so for two or more hours at a time. Mrs. Sizemore passed away at Heritage Hall in Leesburg, Virginia.
