Nancy Ann Heine
Nancy Ann Heine of Southampton died on June 26. She was 89.
Ms. Heine was born and raised in East Islip. In 1953, she married the “love of her life” Harvey Heine, and moved to Holbrook, according to her family. The couple had four children: Elizabeth, Margaret, William and Thomas. After Mr. Heine’s death in 1971, Ms. Heine worked for many years at the IRS while raising her young children.
Ms. Heine was a devout Episcopalian and loved being a member of St. Mark’s Church in Islip and her time on the vestry, as well as being a choir member, according to family. She was the church administrator for around 15 years, as well as secretary of the Episcopal Diocese of Long Island. She retired from St. Mark’s in 2000, and moved to Southampton.
She worked for the John Jermain Library in Sag Harbor up until 2016. Ms. Heine was also a member of Christ Episcopal Church in Sag Harbor, where she sang in the choir, served on the vestry, and was the senior warden.
She will be remembered by her family as a loving mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.
She is survived by her four children; nine grandchildren; and five great-grandchildren.
A small family service was held at St. Mark’s Church in Islip, and she was buried in a family plot in upstate New York.
A memorial celebration will take place in 2021 at Christ Episcopal Church in Sag Harbor.
As Ms. Heine loved all animals, donations to a local animal shelter in her memory would be appreciated by the family.
