Woman Admits Dancing, Waving Wand, Throwing Flowers

LAURENS COUNTY, S,C. -- A woman who says she had no connection to a funeral danced in front of the service, waved a wand over the casket, opened it and touched the deceased man and then threw the flowers from the casket at the family, deputies said.

Laurens County deputies responded to reports of a disturbance at the Church of God in Gray Court on Tuesday. Those attending the funeral said that the woman had joined the procession. They said once they were seated inside the church, the woman then danced in front of them near the casket. They said after she waved the wand over the casket and had touched the deceased man, she hit him in the head with the wand.

The family said after the woman threw the flowers from the top of the casket at them, she drove off in a burgundy Toyota with North Carolina plates.

Deputies pulled the vehicle over on Interstate 385. They asked the driver, 25-year-old Nicole Marie-Loretta Leonard, about the funeral, and they said she admitted to doing everything the witnesses in church said she did.

Deputies said Leonard told them she behaved the way she did because she "felt it was the right thing to do at the time." She said she was driving through the area from North Carolina and did not know anyone at the church.

Leonard has a Web page that says she is a massage therapist who recently graduated from The Center For Massage and Natural Health in Weaverville, N.C. On her Web page, she says, “My private office is tucked away in a serene valley surrounded by an amazing mountain-scape. My loving energy and slow flowing technique provide a truly outstanding relaxation massage.”

Leonard is charged with disorderly conduct and disrupting a funeral.

Not one person there had the gonads to jump up and drag her out as soon as she started? That shows how gutless most people have become.

_______

Pull her out of the Church by her hair and then administering a curbie would then, be the right thing to do at the time.

I disagree. I would have been in shock. Grieving people are usually not clear thinking either.

I agree with you. Plus, they may have thought she was with someone else there. This young woman needs some very serious help. Her time with the Center for Massage and Natural Health has obviously done nothing for her mental health.

That was the first thing I thought of. Why the heck didn’t anyone stop this lunatic? Remind me never to be in an attempted plane hijack with these folks.

If she filed in with some other people and just did it without hesitation, she probably was gone before the shock was over.

And having been to many southern funerals myself, she was probably the talk of the church basement luncheon after the fact. Let’s put it this way; no one will forget grandpa’s funeral!
