Hedda Lillian Reichlin, age 98, of Manchester, CT passed away peacefully on Thursday, February 10, 2022 after a long and happy life. She was born in Ellington, CT in 1923 to parents Hyman Rashall and Emma Cantor Rashall.

She worked as a Social Worker before marriage, then as a Reading teacher and Project Concern teacher in Manchester, and finally for 20 years, a 2nd grade teacher at Burns School in Hartford. She was devoted to her students, her colleagues, and to teaching.
Heddas greatest joy was her family and friends.
