Mary Louise Heddy

On Thursday, January 19th, 2017, Mary Louise Burress Heddy passed peacefully from this earth and joined her beloved husband, Joe, in Heaven. Mrs. Heddy was born in Booneville, Mississippi, to the late Leander and Mae Davis Burress. She was wed in 1946 to the late Joe W. Heddy, Sr., with whom she raised a family and enjoyed 69 years of marriage.

Mary Louise Heddy was a people person. She found joy in giving joy to others, which she did until her last moments. Be it friends, family, and even strangers, she never failed to make those around her laugh and smile with her feisty attitude and contagious laughter. As a homemaker, she loved her family fully and deeply and was loved by them as much in return. She was passionate about the outdoors, gardening and flowers. She enjoyed sewing and also had an appreciation of art and spent time painting and coloring. She attended Evergreen Baptist Church.

In addition to her husband and parents, Mrs. Heddy was preceded in death by one brother, James Burress.
Her memory will be forever cherished by her devoted daughter and son-in-law, Joyce and Bill Hutcherson, of Warner Robins; loving son and daughter-in-law, Joe Jr. and Jill Heddy, of Pensacola, Florida; siblings, Rayburn Burress (Jane), Memphis, TN; Evelyn Buchanan (Bobby), Lake Okeechobee, FL; Helen George (Willie), Rienzi, MS; sister-in-law, Edna Burress, Sheffield, OH; as well as four beloved grandchildren, 10 great-grandchildren, and many friends, all of whom will miss her sweet spirit.

Visitation with her family will be held on Sunday, January 22, 2017, beginning at 2:00 pm at McCullough Funeral Home. Following the visiting hour, a funeral service to celebrate her life will be held at 3:00 pm in the Chapel of McCullough Funeral Home. Mrs. Heddy will then be laid to rest next to her husband at Magnolia Park Cemetery in the Veteran's Plaza of the Chapel Mausoleum.
