Heidi L. Hirschey
 BRONX - Heidi Lynn Hirschey
of Bronx, New York, passed away peacefully at her
home on Sunday, June 11,
2023.
Heidi was born in
Lowville on August 18,
1967, the daughter of the late John C. and Molly A. (Grandjean) Hirschey. She
attended Lowville Academy, graduating in 1985. Heidi graduated summa cum
laude from Marymount
University receiving
her BA in accounting. Heidi resided in the northern Virginia area for 25 years after
college, and the next 12 years in the Bronx
and New Jersey
area.
Heidi worked for
Leidos of Reston, VA since 2007. She was a Senior Systems Analyst and used
her love of accounting along with her strong knowledge, dedication,
attention to detail and problem-solving skills to play a substantial role
in the success of over 30 Enterprise Resource Planning implementations as
well as countless technical enhancements, and process improvements. She was
recognized and appreciated by her work team for her strong work ethic,
insistence on perfection and dedication.
Heidi is survived
by her brother, Erik S. and his wife Pamela J. Hirschey
of Glenfield; her aunts Lu Wenda (Wendy) H. Mohrman; Sara A. (Scott) King; Martha H. Ciulla, Gayle L. Hirschey;
Rebecca J. Hirschey, Kristina M. Panowicz (Byron), and Laura H. (Samuel) Villanti, Beth Smith, Rosie (Michael) Souva; and Diane (Robert) Purvines;
her uncles Ronald L. Hirschey; Michael L. (Judy);
Martin A. (Linda) Hirschey; Randall L. (Shirley) Hirschey; Loren D. Hirschey;
Norman J. (Vikki) Hirschey; Daniel L. Hirschey, Reginald (Kathy) Grandjean;
and Richard Campbell.
She's predeceased
by her parents, John and Molly Hirschey, her
maternal grandparents, Lester and Shirley Grandjean,
her paternal grandparents, Leland & Bernice Hirschey. Also,
several aunts and uncles; Diane Hirschey, Timothy
Panowicz, Cynthia Campbell, Rita & her
husband Harry Ortlieb, and Bruce E. Hirschey.
She is survived
by 53 first cousins, and over 55 children of her first cousins. She was a
bright light in their lives and they in hers. She was the light that lit up
every room. She was one to always attend every family gathering possible
and would travel great distances to take part to honor others. The ability
to connect and be a caring part of the lives of so many family members was
a special trait of Heidi's.
Heidi was a loyal
friend to many. She was so loved by her friends from near and far and
especially her dear friends on Cape Cod.
She held a special place in her heart for her long time friends - Randy Bush, Denny Hughes,
Kathie Egloff, and Ellie Mockbee, several of them
since childhood from her hometown.
Whether family or
friends, she had the ability to connect at a real level with so many - true
in character and true in her word. She was loyal,
cared deeply, helped anyone in need, always had an ear to lend, always had
the perfect advice without judgment, always a laugh to share and was always
up for an adventure.
What is clear
from all friends and family shared over and over is "We all love
Heidi."
Heidi was
generous with her friends, family and community.
She was fond of the North Country Pet Adoption Services and a very active
supporter of Oswegatchie FFA
Camp. She chose to generously support Oswegatchie FFA
Camp to continue the service and support that her father, John, and her
uncle, Bruce, had started many years ago.
