Elaine Leigh Obituary
Passed away February 15, 2020, Age 70. Beloved wife of John for 49 wonderful years. Loving mother of John, Ericka, and Beth. Caring grandmother of 11.

She practiced in the Neo-Natal Intensive Care and later as a Home Care Nurse for Beaumont Hospital. She truly loved nursing and caring for her patients.
Her final role will be with her God as she watches over her family, friends and grandchildren from heaven. God will hold her in his arms and say "Well done my faithful servant."
