Ina Woodward Heubach, 74, died unexpectedly of natural causes at home on June 3, 2025. She was a loving, faithful, and elegant wife, mother, daughter, sister, aunt, and friend. In recent
years, she was also a cherished “Yaya” to her granddaughter.
Born on May 20, 1951, in Luray, Virginia, she was raised in a large and close-knit family along with five sisters. She attended Luray High School and graduated from Madison College in 1973,
fulfilling her dream of becoming a teacher.
Ina’s love of children spanned positions in secondary and elementary education, touching the lives of students across Luray, Greene County, and Harrisonburg, Virginia. She gave generously
of her time and talents in the classroom for 30 years.
After retiring in 2004, she enjoyed a full and joyful life, building her dream home near the North Carolina coast, reading at all hours, traveling with loved ones and to visit family and friends, and
doting on her granddaughter. She was known for her quiet strength, warm hospitality, and impeccable taste.
Ina was preceded in death by her parents, Virgil Leo Woodward and Evelyn Marston Woodward; sisters Anna Lee Presgraves and Jane Miller; and brothers-in-law Wayne Campbell
and Edward Bailey.
She is survived by her husband of 41 years, John Heubach of Bolivia, North Carolina; daughter, Kate Heubach Brimer (Adam), and granddaughter, Florrie Brimer, of Knoxville, Tennessee;
sisters, Dawn Campbell, Meda Bailey, and Vicki Gochenour (Gerald), and brother-in-law Roger W. Miller Sr., all of Luray; a great number of nieces and nephews; and many lifelong friends.
The family will receive friends at Luray Christian Church on Monday, June 9, from 6 to 7:30 p.m., followed by a memorial service at the church on Tuesday, June 10, at 2 p.m.
