Megan Lynn Newhart

Megan Lynn Newhart, 36, of Palmerton, PA, passed away far too soon on Monday, August 18, 2025. Born in Allentown on February 22, 1989, Megan was the beloved daughter of the late Edgar A. Newhart and Lori (Creamer) Newhart-Costello. A 2007 graduate of Palmerton High School, Megan went on to earn her Dental Hygienist Certification from Northampton Community College in 2011. For more than a decade, she shared her skills and her heart with patients, most recently at Next Chapter Smiles in Bethlehem. She got as many extra certifications as she could without being a dentist. Beyond her career, Megan volunteered her time providing free dental cleanings at schools and free clinics, feeding people in need for thanksgiving and always an animal shelter visit. Always eager to help others. Megan's proudest role was being a mother. She was devoted to her children, cheering them on in every sport and milestone. Her love for them was boundless and unwavering. Those who knew Megan will remember her as compassionate and strong. Her warmth and smile touched everyone around her.
