Virginia Young Heard OBITUARY

Cocoa Beach - Virginia Young Heard, 63, passed away unexpectedly on the morning of 11 November 2019 at Cape Canaveral Hospital in Cocoa Beach, FL with her husband of 37 years at her side. Virginia was born 12 May 1956 in El Paso TX (Fort Bliss) to LtCol Gordon and Carolyn Young and became an official "Army Brat". She was preceded in death by her wonderful parents.

Virginia became an official "Air Force Wife" upon marriage to LtCol Hampton (Hamp) Heard in Alexandria LA (England AFB) 13 November 1982. While stationed at many Air Force Bases in the US and overseas, Virginia, Hamp and daughter, Carolyn, made many friends and memories. Hamp and Virginia retired from the Air Force in 1997 and moved to Cocoa Beach in 1999.

Virginia was always a very supportive wife, mother and "Grammy". She was very proud of the accomplishments of her family, daughter, Carolyn and her husband (Stephen) Szabo of Melbourne FL. Virginia adored her three grandchildren: Katie Grace, Andy, and Miss Ellie. Virginia enjoyed cooking. She valued the important bonding time that comes with sharing meals and traditions with family and friends. She loved baking and shopping with her granddaughters and watching her grandson fish, "He can catch a fish in a ditch". That is true!

Virginia leaves behind: sisters, Susan (Pat) Brazan, Julie (Melvin) Gautreau, Gerri Young and brother, James (Tanya) Young, sister in law Melinda "Nina" (Jerry) Koethe, and nephews, Alex (Lauren) Brazan, Michael (Zoe) Brazan, Morgan (Aprillynn) Gautreau and Josh Chevalier.

Merritt Island, FL

Ann Flack Heard, 98, passed away Thursday, 20 November 2014 at Wuesthoff Hospice and Palliative Care House, Rockledge, FL. Mrs. Heard was born to Miss Louella and Jesse James Flack, 1 November 1916. She attended Moorhead Sunflower Jr. College, and graduated from Peabody Teachers' College/Vanderbilt. After marriage in 1938, she became a teacher at GA Southwest Junior College. Twice moving to Brevard County as an Air Force wife, she became headmistress of St. Mark's Episcopal Church School in Cocoa and continued on the faculty until her retirement 18 years later in 1979. Ann was determined to find joy in every minute of her life. After retirement from the field of education, she became a highly competitive bridge player, and an avid tennis, basketball, and football fan. She read extensively until macular degeneration prevented her from doing so. She delighted in her family and friends.

Ann was predeceased by her husband, Wade C. Heard; a sister, and two brothers. Survivors include her daughter, Melinda Koethe (husband Jerry); her son, Hampton Heard (wife Virginia) with daughter, Carolyn Szabo (husband Stephen) and their children, Katie, Andy, and Miss Ellile.

Other Events and Attributes:

• Education: 8th Grade Public School
• Married Name: Flack
• Residence: 1920, Baxterville MS; In 1920 Census, Flack household w/ Jesse James as head, Saw Boss, Logging Company

Notes:

Death Certificate has Louella Lenora's ("Nora") mother as "Caroline Lucas" (provided at her death by son James M. Flack), yet FamilySearch.org has "Frances Eugenia Mangum" as her mother.

According to "Chapters, Ann Heard family history" Frances Mangum (Lucas) died in childbirth with Nora. It's likely aunt Caroline Lucas (1853-1929) helped brother John Franklin Lucas (1882-1825) raise "Nora" and 6 other siblings --earning "grandmother" love from JMF. If true, Caroline was JMF's "great aunt".
