NEWPORT NEWS Nancy Post Heinbach, 79, transitioned peacefully Monday, Dec. 21, 2020.
She loved Christmas and her faith. Her passing on December 21 was spiritually appropriate, given the winter solstice and the rare conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn nicknamed, “The Christmas Star.” This rare Christmas Star was a beautiful beacon of light to show her the path to her eternal home.
