Norma Jean McNutt Henry of Lower Burrell died March 20, 2022, at West Penn Hospital, Pittsburgh.

during the 1960s.
Mrs. Henry was a member of Grace United Methodist Church in Natrona Heights.
She was a graduate of East Deer Frazer High School and Allegheny Valley Hospital School of Nursing,
where she received a full scholarship. At the time, she was the youngest person to ever pass the

graduation, and at Kaiser Permanente in Los Angeles. Her career as an RN concluded upon becoming a
