Dr. Nancy K. Alberts

Dr. Nancy was born on December 5, 1946 in New Brighton, a daughter of the late Carl and Helen (Staszko) Spadafore. Nancy married the love of her life, Terry Alberts, on June 5, 1965. Nancy always said they held hands to “Hold Each Other Up.”

Nancy graduated in 1979 from the University of Pittsburgh Medical School, thus fulfilling her lifelong dream of becoming a Medical Doctor.

She was a member of New Hope Church and received such joy from her involvement in various groups at the church, including singing in the choir, Bible Study and as a mentor. Nancy was always the first to offer to bake for any gathering at New Hope as well.
