Shirley A. Newman – Bentleyville, formerly of New Eagle
Shirley A. Newman, 84, of Bentleyville, formerly of New Eagle, went to be with the Lord on Saturday, Sept. 23, 2023. She was surrounded by her loving family. She was born on Feb. 25, 1939, in Leisenring, Pa., a daughter of the late Paul Corbett Sr. and Blanche Burkett Corbett. Shirley worked as a certified nursing aide at Washington County Health Center before she retired in 1999. She was devoted to her family, as that gave her the most joy. She also enjoyed reading, watching the Steelers and she loved her dog, Duke. On May 4, 1955, she married Duane Newman, who passed away on Feb. 14, 2003. They were married for 48 years. She was the cherished mother of Marsha Dykins (Bob) of Bentleyville, Diane Crumrine (Bo) of Charleroi and Thomas Newman (Melissa) of Finleyville. She is also survived by five grandchildren, Lindsay Piasecki, Travis Harff, Tyler Dykins, Nathan Newman and Brody Newman; great-grandchildren, Abby Selvoski, Gavin and Cooper Piasecki, Sophia, Evelyn and Oliver Harff and Nolan, Calla, Ember, Lennox and Rainbow Dykins; and sisters, Margie Goodrum and Kathy Zumpetta. Deceased in addition to her husband and parents, are her brother, Paul (Murph) Corbett; and a grandson, Brian BJ Crumrine. We would also like to thank Amber and Janice, who helped us care for our beautiful mom and who Shirley considered to be her angels.
