Hedda Scheck Obituary

With heavy hearts, we announce the death of Hedda Scheck (Freehold NJ), who passed away on April 25, 2020 at the age of 89. Family and friends are welcome to leave their condolences on this memorial page and share them with the family.

She was predeceased by : her husband William and five siblings. She is survived by : her sons and daughter in laws, Andrew and Jackie Scheck and Larry and Loren Scheck. She is also survived by four grandchildren (Genna Scheck, Wayne Scheck, Jake Scheck and Josh Scheck).

She was a Jewish woman (the youngest of six children) who was born in Nazi-run Germany. At the age of 8 on Kristallnacht (Night of Broken Glass), she was put in jail with two brothers and her mother with her father taken off to Buchenwald concentration camp. Thankfully her other brothers and sisters were already in the US at that time. Fortuitously visas were already requested and approved (with bribe money paid to get her father out) and they left Germany for the US at the end of December that year having to give a promise the German government never to return.

She lived a wonderful life in a country (United States) that accepted her, her American born husband William, and her family. Her sons (Larry& Loren, Andrew&Jackie), and her grandchildren Genna, Wayne, Jake and Josh, nieces, nephews, grandnieces, grandnephews along a host of other folks all will miss her.
