Sally June (Heist) Novack, 83, of Bethlehem Township died Sunday, June 27, 2021 at Cedarbrook Nursing Home-Fountain Hill. Born in Emmaus she was the daughter of the late Thelma A. (Boyer) and Harold L. Heist. She was married to John R. Novack with whom she celebrated 62 years of marriage until his death on March 16, 2019.
Sally was a 1956 Allentown High School graduate and later she went to Northampton Community College receiving an Associates degree in Liberal Arts in 1981, and a Bachelors degree in Psychology from Moravian College graduating Summa Cum Laude in 1985.

Sally and her husband were avid bowlers and bowled in couples bowling leagues at Bethlehem Steel Club and the senior league at Bar-Don Lanes. Along with her husband they participated in flying clubs where John belonged, flying single engine airplanes on vacations up and down the East Coast, from Niagara Falls to Key West. Sallys accomplishment she most cherished was flying lessons culminating in several solo flights, overcoming her greatest fear.
Sally also enjoyed playing the piano, reading, writing, gardening, counter cross stitch, feeding the hummingbirds, walking, and loving her Chihuahuas for many years. She and John enjoyed roller skating as well as motorcycling.
