In Memory of Wanda Leighton


October 29, 1934–September 27, 2013

It is with great sadness that we share the passing of Wanda Leighton.

Wanda Jewell Leighton passed away on September 27 at her home in Omaha, Nebraska. As a member of the Omaha-Council Bluffs Miniature Guild, she served as club Treasurer shortly after she joined NAME in 1979 until her passing. She was always ready to give a workshop at club when needed. Making candy was the class she taught the evening before she died. 

Wanda entered a NAME video contest on "How to make roses" and it won $250 for our club.

She was a Dealer at several shows in the Midwest and was known as MINIATURE HOME INTERIORS by WANDA. A true miniaturist who will be missed by her many friends, club mates, customers, and especially her sister Carol, a NAME member in California.
