Leigh was born the daughter of Terry and Lucretia (Fleming) Conley on May 14, 1989, in Norton, Virginia. She graduated from Troy Athens High School in 2007 and earned her Nursing Associate Degree in 2010. Leigh had the wedding of her dreams, marrying Christopher Leader on June 21st, 2013, in Birmingham, Michigan. After the birth of her daughters, she became a full time “Mumma”. Nothing gave her more joy than being a Mom and raising her family with Chris. She was a member of Woodside Bible Church.
Leigh loved the little things in life, such as the local carnival or the hot dog combo at Sam’s. She loved shopping at Target and driving through fast food restaurants. She could shop like a pro and was equally at home in Walmart and Saks. She saw the good in everyone. She was a friend to many across all spectrums of life. She loved Jesus and teaching her kids about Him. She loved Disney World and Elvis. She hated being outside, and she hated all bugs, but she’d sit in the sun for hours.
Leigh is survived by her husband Chris; daughters, Mackenzie (10) and Madeline (7); parents, Terry and Lucretia Conley; brother, Andrew Conley; and grandparents, Randall and Teresa Fleming. Leigh was predeceased by her grandparents, George and Dorthy Hamilton.
