Born March 9, 1918, to loving parents, Marguerite Peg and Walter E. Ed Heacock in West Unity, Ohio, she lived most of her life in Akron. She and her beloved husband, Dayton, were married May 16, 1942, in St. Paul's Episcopal Church, Akron. A 1935 graduate of Central High School, and Actual Business College in 1936, she completed her first year college at the University of Nevada, where Dayton was stationed at Reno Army Air Base until assigned to the Persian Gulf Command in World War II.
All her years in the workplace she was associated with Ray Bliss, first as he assumed leadership in the Republican Party locally, and then as manager of his Tower Agencies insurance business when he became Ohio Republican Party Chairman and then National Republican Party Chairman. She maintained a strong allegiance to the Republican Party and served on its county Central and Executive Committees and its State Committee.
She was a devoted member of St. Paul's Episcopal Church, serving on the Altar Guild, Quiet Committee, Second Friday Nighters and as a former member of the Vestry and a long-time Sunday School teacher. In 1994 she was honored with St. Paul's Church and Community Service Award.
She volunteered with many community and service organizations, among them Summit County Children Services, Stan Hywet Hall and Gardens, Salvation Army Women's Auxiliary, and the Women's Committee of the University of Akron. She was a member of the Akron Woman's City Club, P.E.O. Chapter AJ, Fortnightly Club of Akron, a sustaining member of Junior Women's Civic Club, and a former member of Kadesh Court 19 Ladies Oriental Shrine.
