Mrs. Hearn was born on March 13, 1910 in Marlborough, MA, daughter to the late Howard and Bessie Settle MacGinnis. Prior to retiring, she was a Licensed Practical Nurse and then focused all her time and love not only to her family but also to all of her church family both in Marlborough, MA and All Saints Anglican Church in Charlotte, NC. While living in Marlborough, she sang in the church choir, was on the Alter Guild and was a member of the Holy Trinity Circle. Some of her favorite past-times were playing scrabble, an avid game-show watcher, square dancing and camping with her family. She was a loving, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend. Bessie will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
