Born and raised in the Tioga section of Philadelphia, Nancy resided in Croydon before moving to Falls Township in 1966. She was a member of St. Michael the Archangel parish.
Most important to Nancy was spending time with her family, especially with her grandchildren, who were her greatest joys.
Beloved wife of the late Paul Leighton, Sr., Mrs. Leighton was the loving mother of Cathy, Carol, Paul, Jr., (Donny), Robert and Patrick (Michelle); the devoted grandmother of Stephanie, Sean, Ryan and Kylie and great grandmother of Ashton, Riley, Sammy, Ethan, Haylie and Rosalynn.
Nancy was the sister of the late John Steiner, Jr. and is survived by several nieces and nephews.
