Anne "Sulli" M. Schultz

Anne “Sulli” M. Schultz, age 66, of Melbourne, Florida, formerly of Niagara, Wisconsin, passed away peacefully in her sleep on July 18, 2026.

Sulli was born on April 29, 1960, in Summit, New Jersey, to her loving parents, George H. McKelvey Jr. and Anne “Ba” McKelvey.

While her family grieves the loss of her beautiful presence, they find comfort in knowing that she has been peacefully reunited with the love of her life, her beloved husband, Dan, and her precious son, Kevin. What was once separated by loss has now been made whole again.

Sulli wore many hats throughout her lifetime and worked in many different roles, but the one that stands out most was her most recent. She dedicated her career to the Brevard Association for the Advancement of the Blind (BAAB), where she began as office manager and later served as program director. She loved her work and found true joy in helping others. Even after retiring, she returned to volunteer several days a week, continuing to serve the organization and the people she cared about. Her compassion, dedication, and servant’s heart left a lasting impact on everyone who knew her.

She found joy in life’s simple pleasures. She loved trivia, puzzles, and games that kept her mind sharp. Sulli was happiest spending time by the water, whether at the lake or the ocean, soaking up the sunshine. Those peaceful moments brought her comfort. Above all, she treasured every moment with her family, creating memories filled with love, laughter, and togetherness. Talking about her daughter, Tori, and her granddaughter, Averie, was often the highlight of her day. Her warm heart and joyful spirit will be deeply missed and forever remembered.

Those who knew Sulli will remember her as someone who loved deeply, laughed often, and always put others before herself. She had a caring heart, a quick wit, and a gentle way of making everyone feel like family. Her kindness, optimism, and unwavering love were the foundation of her life. Along with her famous saying, “No news is good news,” her legacy will live on in the hearts of all who were fortunate enough to know her.She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Daniel Schultz, whose love she cherished throughout their 14 years of marriage before he was taken far too soon; her beloved son, Kevin Schultz, whose passing left a space in her heart that was never filled; her loving parents, George H. McKelvey Jr. and Anne R. McKelvey; and one sister.

She is lovingly survived by her daughter, Victoria Schultz, and cherished granddaughter, Averie Van Hulla, both of Niagara, Wisconsin; her brother, George McKelvey III, of Melbourne, Florida; her nieces and nephews; and many extended family members and dear friends who will forever cherish her memory.

For her Florida family and friends, a funeral mass will be celebrated at Ascension Catholic Church on Tuesday, August 25, at 11:00 a.m. Burial in the Memorial Garden will follow for immediate family. Family and friends are then invited to gather for a reception in the church hall to celebrate Sulli’s life and share memories.

For her family and friends in Niagara, Wisconsin, a celebration of life will be held at Pit Stop Bar and Grill on Saturday, September 12, at 3:00 p.m.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you honor her memory by spending time with those you love, extending kindness to a stranger, and embracing each day with gratitude—just as she did.

Constance J. Zack

Constance Jean Zack beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend, passed away peacefully with her family at her side on July 27th at the age of 92.

Born January 22, 1934, in Coffeyville, KS, Connie was the only child of Thomas and Beulah Conley. She lived in rural, post-depression Kansas until 14, when the family moved, along with the oil industry, to Lake Charles, LA. She met her husband of 62 years, Dominick Zack Jr. at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, where she and Dominick were attending school, and were married in 1955. Together they built a life filled with love, laughter, faith, food, and friends.

Connie was a devoted mother. She raised her two children with love and lessons of kindness, responsibility and hard work. She was constantly baking their favorite treats, which were always delicious, and always appreciated.

Connie taught Home Economics. Most of her career was spent teaching at Harwood Union HS in Moretown, VT. The family moving there in the late 1960’s after living in Norwalk, CT for some years after their graduation, renting a home in an Italian neighborhood on Renzulli Rd. where many happy memories were made. She was passionate about teaching future generations the practical skills needed to thrive in day-to-day life. Those who knew her remember her love of birds and plants, and her handwritten letters and cards that always arrived on time, and often on self-made stationary with birding pictures she had taken. She especially loved to watch, photograph and talk about birds (guess that made her a “birder”), and would travel through the US and even to Costa Rica to find a new bird to photograph.

Above all, Connie was fiercely devoted to her two grandchildren. She and Dominick would spend countless days enjoying their company, teaching them a new life skill, and being the best grandparents, two kids could ever have. And in return, both Colin and Anthony loved them back just as fiercely.

She is survived by her children: Greg, and Jeff (Vicki), grandchildren: Anthony (Vanessa); and her two great-grandchildren. She is also survived by many nieces, nephews and their children who all affectionately called her Aunt Connie, her brother-in-law Bill (Liv) and sister-in-law Angela (Allen). She was preceded in death by her husband Dominick, and grandson Colin.

A service for Connie will be held at 11am on Aug. 11, at Holy Name of Jesus, 3050 North Highway A1A, Indialantic, FL 32903 with a reception following. Connie will be interred with Dominick at the Cape Canaveral National Cemetery in Mims, FL at a future date.

Susan Linda Lachapelle

Susan Linda Lachapelle passed away on July 30, 2026, in Palm Bay, Florida. She died peacefully at the Williams Childs Hospice House, listening to Christian music and praying with her sisters Lori and Nancy. The cause of Susan’s death was due to complications from seizures arising after a long string of other medical illnesses. She was 67 years old at the time of her passing.

Susan was born in Newport, Rhode Island on May 20, 1959. She was the third child born to Manuel Louis and Nancy Rose Braga. She had one brother, Stephen Louis Braga, and two sisters, Nancy Lee Davis and Lori Ann Braga, all of whom adored her.

Susan attended Carey Elementary, Thompson Middle School, and Rogers High School in Newport. Susan held various jobs in and around Newport. She was particularly skilled at jobs caring for others, such as working in a nursing home. She had a passion for helping others, which she carried throughout her life.

On February 14, 1981, Susan married her Valentine, Gerard Lachapelle. Gerry grew up in nearby New Bedford, Massachusetts, and the two of them shared a passion for “all things New England” throughout their lives. No Patriots football or Red Sox baseball game went unwatched; no bowl of clam “chowda” went uneaten.

After a brief stint in the Coast Guard, Gerry pursued a career driving long-haul tractor-trailer trucks. Susan would often go with him while he completed his work assignments. They loved traveling the open road together, seeing the country, and meeting new people everywhere.

Several years later, Gerry downshifted his career to local truck driving. He and Susan then settled in West Melbourne, Florida, where she could be close to her parents and sisters. They were both stewards of God and became involved in Harbor City Baptist Church, actively participating in programs to help others in need.

Unfortunately, as the years went on, Susan and Gerry were afflicted with serious medical challenges. Gerry struggled with and succumbed to lung and brain cancer. Susan struggled with brain surgeries, throat cancer, and seizure disorders. Over the years, they fought their health battles together. They were shining examples of living out their marital vows “in sickness and in health.” Through it all, Susan and Gerry never lost faith in their Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

During her final days, Susan’s wish was to reunite with her Valentine Gerry in heaven. Her family takes comfort knowing that her wish was fulfilled. The loving family members Susan leaves behind are: her mother, Nancy Braga; her siblings, Stephen Braga (Wife- Kathleen), Nancy Davis and Lori Braga; her nieces and nephews, Jennifer Steele (Husband-Andy), Jeremy Davis, Jason Braga, Kelly Krieger (Husband-Paul), David Braga (Wife-Michelle), Jeffrey Braga and Cierra Braga; her grand cousins, Avery Steele, Ashleigh Steele, Jackson Steele, Haley Krieger, Emma Krieger, Wesley Krieger, Evie Galaviz, Avery Hoffman, and Milo Braga; her Aunt Judith Phelps and her cousins Donna Golden and Eric Gilfand, along with her loving cats who kept her company in life (Chuckie, Jingles, Cheeto, and Oreo).

A Memorial Service will be held on Wednesday, August 19, 026, from 5:00 P.M. to 7:00 P.M. at Ammen Family Cremation and Funeral Care, 950 Malabar Rd. SE, Palm Bay, Florida.

Linda Louise Sinkule

With hearts full of love and gratitude, we celebrate the beautiful life of Linda Louise Sinkule who gained her angel wings on Sunday, June 21, 2026. Though our hearts ache beyond description, we take comfort in knowing that Linda is now at rest in the full embrace of God’s peace and light.

Linda was born on the 4th of July. 1963. She was every bit the fireworks baby to her parents, Frank Sinkule and Mary Lou Sinkule.

Linda was a beacon of kindness, whose gentle spirit touched everyone who met her. Like an angel among us, she offered comfort in time of sorrow and laughter in moments of joy. Linda was a registered nurse for over 30 years. She was a godsend to hundreds of families during her nursing career. While stationed in cardiac ICU, she was the frontline for many patients during their “actively dying hours.” Linda attended the funerals of dozens of her patients. The families always picked her out to personally share their gratitude for her “over the top” TLC. She provided unwavering love and comfort to her family and friends, especially in their darkest hours.

Linda is survived by her four siblings, Sue (Tom) Mulligan, Frank (Margaret) Sinkule, Lisa (John) Gits and Diane (Carl Kandiko) Sinkule. Linda was the big sister to all four of her siblings and loved them and their families, Nieces and nephews, Taylor (Matt) Levins, Tyler Mulligan, Maddison (Mike) Wilson, Alyssa and Dalton Kandiko and great nephew Easton Levins. The five siblings shared a special bond, the foundation of which was built by their parents. Linda’s siblings were acutely attentive to her special needs of the last several years. They listened; they visited; they offered advice; and most importantly they assured and confirmed her faith. Her baby sister, Diane, was her primary caretaker in all areas of her disability and Linda was not shy with her compliments and acknowledgements of Diane’s dedication. She hoped that everyone could have a baby sister like Diane, “who made the bad times good and the good times even better.”

Linda was preceded in death by both of her parents, just weeks apart in 2008. The death of her parents was a significant blow to Linda’s physical and mental wellbeing. They were more than parents to her. Her father, Frank, was her mentor and her mother, Mary Lou, was her best friend. Linda was also preceded in death by her maternal and paternal grandparents, brother-in-law, John, numerous aunts and uncles (Sinkules and Hetzels), her special Ron, cousins, and numerous friends.

Although Linda never married, she considered her special friends as her extended family.

We pray that all her loved ones will carry Linda’s spirit, Linda’s faith, Linda’s words of wisdom and Linda’s smile close in their hearts forever. The family also wishes to acknowledge the unmeasurable gifts of love, friendship and caring provided by her extra special friends, and you all know who you are! May her spirit continue to inspire your journey as well.

A funeral (celebration of life) will be held at 11:00 am on Thursday, September 17, 2026, at Ascension Catholic Church, 2950 N Harbor City Blvd., Melbourne, Florida. Please join us as we honor Linda’s life journey and the countless ways, she blessed our lives.

Your presence and support mean the most. If you would like to honor Linda with a memorial gift, the family suggests donations to a charity of your choice that will remind you of her.

Linda lived in great pain with chronic health issues for the last few years. Today we celebrate her flight – untethered and pain free. Though Linda has taken flight to her Heavenly home, her love remains our guiding light. Until we meet again, we will carry her memory in our hearts, like gentle whispers from Heaven.

Kevin Douglas Hennes

In Loving Memory of Kevin Hennes

Kevin Hennes, 56, of Palm Bay, Florida, passed away on July 12, 2026.

Kevin was born in Riverhead, New York, and later moved to Brevard County, Florida, where he spent the remainder of his life. He dedicated most of his career to working as a mason, earning the respect of those around him through his hard work, craftsmanship, and strong work ethic.

Outside of work, Kevin truly enjoyed life. He loved spending time on his boat, proudly serving as its captain, where some of his happiest memories were made with family and friends. Whether it was a day out on the water, relaxing in the Florida sunshine, or simply enjoying good company, Kevin believed life was meant to be enjoyed.

Family was the center of Kevin's world. He looked forward to family dinners, loved bringing everyone together, and never passed up the chance to enjoy dessert—he had a legendary sweet tooth that everyone knew about. He found joy in the little things and loved creating memories with the people he loved most.

Kevin will be remembered not only for his caring and loving heart but also for his goofy personality and wonderful sense of humor. He loved making people laugh, joking around, and keeping everyone smiling. His playful spirit was contagious, and he could turn an ordinary day into one filled with laughter. Kevin never took life too seriously and had a special way of reminding everyone around him to have fun, enjoy the moment, and appreciate the time spent together. His smile was constant, his laugh unforgettable, and his positive attitude made everyone feel welcome.

Kevin had a special place in his heart for his dogs, who were never just pets—they were family. He was a proud dog dad who adored his beloved companions, Otis and Olaf. Otis, who preceded him in death, held a forever place in Kevin's heart, and he often shared stories and memories of him. Olaf, lovingly nicknamed "Puppers," was Kevin's faithful sidekick and constant companion. Whether relaxing at home, spending time outside, or greeting him with unconditional excitement at the end of the day, Olaf brought Kevin endless happiness. The bond they shared was one of loyalty, comfort, and unconditional love, and anyone who knew Kevin knew just how much his dogs meant to him.

Kevin is survived by his father, Ron Hennes; his sisters, Laura, Sandra, Michelle, Sherry, and Shawn; his nieces and nephews, Brandon, Tawny, Lisa, Jack, Samantha, Rob, Krista, Tyler, Zack, Nicole, Jennifer, Joey, Jeff, James, and John; and his great-nieces and great-nephews, Cannon, Cece, DeeDee, Isla, Matt, Cassy, Harley, Luna, Jazz, Christian, Sebastian, Neveah, Gunner, Samyiah, Sierrah, Selinah, Alexandria, Charlotte, Abigail, Serenity, and Spencer.

He was preceded in death by his mother, Judy Detrick; his nephew, Jordan; his niece, Danielle; his great-niece, Elizabeth; his beloved dog, Otis.

Kevin's legacy is one of love, laughter, loyalty, and family. He showed those around him the importance of working hard, loving deeply, laughing often, and cherishing every moment with family—including the four-legged members. Though he will be deeply missed, the memories of his goofy jokes, warm hugs, infectious smile, days spent on the boat, and the unconditional love he shared with both people and animals will live on in the hearts of all who were fortunate enough to know him.

Forever loved, forever missed, and forever remembered.
