Jenny Heishman Obituary

Jenny Clemmons Heishman, 76, passed away on November 13, 2025, in Richmond, VA.

Born on October 28, 1949, Jenny lived a vibrant and impactful life. A graduate of Flair Beauty School, she dedicated over five decades to her profession as a beautician, serving her clients with skill and warmth for 51 years.

Jenny was a longtime member of Skipwith Baptist Church, a place she held close to her heart throughout most of her life. Her faith and community were important parts of her journey.

She is survived by her soul mate and loving husband of nearly 32 years, Jim; her devoted sister Ann; four cherished children; and seven beloved grandsons. Jenny was predeceased by her parents, Graham and Virginia Clemmons.

Living with Type 1 Diabetes for 62 years, Jenny faced life's challenges with resilience and grace. She was dynamic-much like a firecracker-radiating beauty inside and out. Known for her kindness, creativity, and sharp sense of humor, she brought joy to those around her.

A memorial service will be planned soon to honor Jenny's remarkable life.

May her memory bring comfort to all who knew and loved her.
