Nancy (Nan) A. Sleight

Nancy (Nan) A. Sleight, née Nardiello, passed away peacefully at her home in Port St. Lucie, Florida, on October 27, 2025, at the age of 80.

Born on September 14, 1945, in West Haverstraw, New York, Nan was the beloved daughter of Charles P. Nardiello and Catherine Anne Nardiello (née Swart). She grew up surrounded by family and friends who cherished her warmth, wit, and generous spirit.

Nan earned her Bachelor of Arts degree from St. Thomas Aquinas College and her Master of Education from the State University of New York at New Paltz. Her passion for literature and education shaped a long and meaningful career as an English teacher, where she inspired generations of students with her love of learning and her compassion for others.

In August 1968, she married her husband, Curtis B. Sleight, and together they began a beautiful journey that spanned more than five decades.

The couple first lived in Baltimore, Maryland, before settling in Marlboro, New York, where both devoted their careers to education—Nan as an English teacher and Curt as a guidance counselor at Marlboro Middle School. There, they raised their three children: Christopher C. Sleight (Siw), Courtney B. Brown (née Sleight), and Laurel T. Sleight (Leanne).

After retiring in 2003, Nan and Curt moved to Port St. Lucie, Florida, to be closer to their children and grandchildren. Family was always at the heart of Nan’s life, and nothing brought her greater joy than time spent with those she loved. She was a proud and devoted grandmother to Rebecca and Amanda Sleight, Ashley, Matthew, and Daniel Brown, and Heston and Colton Sleight.

Nan lived life with a true zest for adventure and an unwavering kindness that touched everyone she met. She was active in her community, always the first to lend a helping hand or share a word of encouragement. Her love for travel took her around the world—from Paris to Norway, from Dubai to India—and she cherished every moment spent exploring new places with family and friends.

Those who knew Nan will remember her not only for her generosity and laughter, but for the way she lived her values; love, kindness, integrity, and joy. She set a standard for her family that continues to guide and inspire them every day.

To her loved ones, Nan was more than a wife, mother, and grandmother—she was a confidante, a role model, and a soulmate. Her light, compassion, and spirit will forever live on in the hearts of all who were fortunate to know her.

A celebration of Nan’s life will be held at a later date in Port St. Lucie, Florida. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to a local charity of your choice in her memory—reflecting Nan’s lifelong commitment to helping others.

Joseph J. "Joe" Langone

Joseph J. Langone, known to everyone simply as Joe, passed away peacefully on October 18th, 2025, surrounded by the love of his family. He was 64 years old.

Born in the Bronx, New York on December 23rd, 1960, Joe lived a life full of hard work, laughter, and love. After graduating from North Salem High School in 1978, he went on to earn his Associate’s Degree in Drafting from Farmingdale College in 1980. A true master of his craft, Joe became a Certified ASE Master Technician — a title that perfectly matched his lifelong passion for cars.

If there was an engine that needed fixing, a classic car that needed restoring, or a project that needed patience and precision, Joe was the one everyone called. But more than his talent, it was his kindness and willingness to help that made him special. Whether he was coaching youth baseball, offering advice, or lending a hand in the garage, Joe gave of himself fully and without hesitation.

A proud New Yorker and lifelong Yankees fan, Joe loved nothing more than catching a game — especially when they won. Even after moving to Port St. Lucie, Florida, he’d make trips to Miami to see them play, keeping that Bronx spirit alive wherever he went.

Joe’s greatest joy, though, was his family. He celebrated his marriage to the love of his life, Mickey, on April 11th, 1987. That same year, he became a father to his son, Joey — a role he cherished above all else. In 2018, he proudly watched Joey marry Angie, and in 2020, his heart grew even bigger with the arrival of his grandson, Enzo. Enzo was truly his pride and joy — everything Joe did, he did with his grandson in mind.

Joe is survived by his loving wife Mickey, his son Joey, daughter-in-law Angie, his adored grandson Enzo, his mother Diana Aiello, and his brother Dominick Langone. He is reunited in peace with his father, Dominick Langone, who surely welcomed him with open arms.

Knowing Joe was never much of a flower guy, we ask that any and all donations may be made to the American Kidney Fund (AKF). They are a wonderful non-profit foundation that specializes in offering financial aid to patients in need, as well as doing a fantastic job bringing public awareness to a terrible disease.

A Funeral Mass celebrating Joe’s life will be held on Saturday, November 22nd at 10:00 AM at St. Bernadette Catholic Church located at 350 Northwest California Boulevard, Port Saint Lucie, Florida, 34986.

Joe will be remembered as a kind soul, a devoted husband, father, and grandfather, and a man who could fix just about anything — except how much he’ll be missed.
