Nancy Bleigh Obituary
Nancy L. Bleigh, 87, of Massillon, Ohio, passed away January 24, 2026. She was born on November 15, 1938 in West Virginia to the late Oscar and Agnes Marsh.
Nancy was a devoted member of Chapel of the Cross, where she was very active. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She enjoyed sewing, quilting, gardening, and reading. In her early years, she enjoyed traveling. Family gatherings and being around her family was most important to her. It meant so much to her being able to have a large tight knit family.
In addition to her parents, Nancy is preceded in death by her five brothers and one sister.
Nancy is survived by her loving husband of 71 years, Hugh Bleigh; children, Debra (Ned) Morton, Randall (Tammy) Bleigh, and David (Tiffany) Bleigh; many grandchildren and great-grandchildren; brothers, Eddie (Joyce) Marsh and Mike Marsh; and sister, Darlene Kenney.
A private Celebration of Life will take place at a later date.
