Leah, the daughter of Sonia and Nathan Drucker, was born in Pittsburgh on March 3, 1943.

She began her career as a clinical social worker at Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh, and then continued her career at University Orthopedics.

Her passions included attending theater and film and gardening; she was especially adventurous in her thirst for unconventional experiences and eagerness to sample new cuisine. She will be remembered as a devoted mother, sister and friend. Leah is survived by her son Nathanael “Nick” Green, and her brothers David and Saul Drucker.
