Elizabeth Leefolt


 * "Mae Mobley, are you home?"

—Elizabeth calling out to Mae Mobley after returning home from vacation for the weekend.

Elizabeth is the mother of Mae Mobley and Lil' Man the wife of Raleigh Leefolt. Elizabeth is the first person to discover her daughter's corpse.

Mae Mobley is verbally abused by Elizabeth. Elizabeth thinks her daughter is unattractive and overweight. Its possible that Elizabeth never wanted to be a mother. Because of her social status, Elizabeth can't be known as an abusive parent. Her status allows her to abuse and neglect Mae Mobley with impunity, and prevents her from getting help for her problems.

There are hints that Elizabeth is raising her daughter the way her mother raised her, with violence and disgust. Elizabeth does not know how to love her daughter so Aibileen Clark is the one who basically raises her.

Rest in Peace (Part 1)
Elizabeth and Raleigh are arriving home after being out of town for the weekend. Elizabeth lets a key click in the lock and the front door opens. She walks inside with Raleigh behind her. Elizabeth sets her purse on the coffee table in the den. "Mae Mobley, are you home?" Elizabeth calls out. Without a response, Elizabeth looks and spots something outside. She opens the glass back door and sees a trail of blood splashed across the cement patio. She discovers Mae Mobley's lifeless body in the swimming pool. Elizabeth SCREAMS in horror.
