Fieona Marie Heringer

Fieona Marie Heringer, 79, passed away unexpectedly on February 7, 2022. Fieona was a wife, sister, mother, grandmother and friend who loved to laugh, travel and, above all, be surrounded by family and friends. Born to Odette and Ernest (a decorated World War II Marine) Riviere in Metairie, LA, the family moved to Orange County in 1963. It was here that she met and married her beloved husband, Daniel Heringer, and their marriage spanned more than 56 years. The couple moved to Irvine in 1975, where they would raise their family. Fieona was an administrative assistant for the Irvine Unified School District for 22 years and, even in retirement, still met regularly with many of her former colleagues. During her golden years, when not doting over her children, grandchildren and granddogs, spending time with friends or travelling, she spent much time researching her family's genealogy. Fieona and Dan had three children: Jeff Heringer (Kathy); Robb Heringer (Liz); and Dena Duncan (Todd). They enthusiastically spoiled their six much-loved grandchildren: Mariah, Kyra, Tamara, Ashley, Emily and Tyler. Fieona is also survived by her sister, best friend and partner in crime, Schelita Hill (Steve). While she will be dearly missed, memories of her and lessons she imparted about the importance of family and friends will always be with us. In lieu of gifts or flowers, the family asks that donations be made in Fieona's name to the Disabled American Veterans charity.
