June "Dee" D Heilman

June Dolores “DEE” Heilman, 95, of Bethel Park, known for her warm heart and sweet smile, passed away peacefully on Saturday, June 21, just short of her 96th birthday at Whitetail Springs Memory Care Center. She was the daughter of the late Jennie and Leonard Pascoe.

Beloved wife of 69 years to the late Regis Heilman; loving mother to Daniel (Yvonne) Heilman, Laurel Heilman, Greg (Carol) Heilman; grandmother to Brooke, Drew, and Evan Heilman.

Dee attended Monongahela, Ambridge, and Snowden High Schools. After HS, she worked for West Penn Power. Later in life she was a Kelly Girl secretary for various offices until working for the Iron Workers in Greentree full time.

Dee, an avid tennis player, also worked for the old Saranac Tennis club in Brentwood, and the former Hidden Valley Tennis Club in Upper St Clair. She and Rege could be found on the South Park tennis courts each summer. Dee played on the Peters Creek Platform Tennis Club for years, was a founding member of the first Pittsburgh women’s travel volleyball team, and refereed HS volleyball matches. Dee loved to play bridge weekly, was a fan of board games, loved to attend any social gatherings with friends and family, and attended the Baldwin Community United Methodist Church.

Dee met Rege at the Laurel Ridge YMCA camp (now known as Deer Valley YMCA Camp) when it was a singles camp in 1951, and camped over 40 years as a family there. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in honor of Dee to Deer Valley YMCA Family Camp, 254 Deer Valley Drive, Fort Hill, PA 15440.

Dee’s family would like to thank the wonderful staff and aids who looked after Mom these past two years at Whitetail Springs Memory Care Center.
