Becoming a registered nurse in July 2018, Heather Pressdee displayed her dedication to helping others immediately.
Working a variety of nursing jobs in Western Pennsylvania, Heather, 41, treated vulnerable patients like they were members of her family.
Placed at five different care facilities between 2020 and 2023, Heather had 11 former nursing jobs before that, too.
She often stayed longer than she needed to, tending to patients long after her shifts had finished.
Sitting by their bedside, Heather was there for them as they took their last breath.
Her commitment also extended beyond her working hours, too.

In loving memory of Irene Elizabeth Simons. She will, she wrote in a sympathy card to grieving family members in March 2023.
