Nancy Helen Newport

Nancy grew up in Bethlehem, Pa., where she graduated from Liberty High School in 1960. She earned her RN degree from Reading Hospital in 1963, the same year she married Conrad Heins Jr. Nancy and Connie made a home in Beltsville, Maryland, where daughter Edith Anne and son Conrad Paul III were born.

The couple parted ways in 1980, and Nancy remarried to Rev. Al Newport in 1982. The family moved to Ohio that same year for Al’s job as pastor of Hanoverton Presbyterian Church. Both children graduated from United High School.

In Ohio, Nancy went back to school in her 40s, graduating summa cum laude with a BS in community health education from Kent State University in 1990. Nancy’s nursing career stretched for four decades; her final place of employment was Alliance Community Hospital in Alliance, Ohio.

Al passed away in 2003; Nancy retired to Port Charlotte in 2008.

Nancy was a faithful member of Port Charlotte Presbyterian Church and of the Women’s Club games group. She was an avid reader and loved animals.

Nancy will be interred with her beloved Al at Memorial Cemetery in Bethlehem.
