On November 14, 2012, she was joined in holy matrimony to John (Chip) Heggie. Monica attended the Cleveland Heights School System. After graduating from Cleveland Height High School, Monica, after receiving a four-year scholarship, went on to attend Central Michigan University located in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan. Later, she transferred to Kentucky State University (KSU) in Frankfort, Kentucky where she completed her undergraduate degree in Criminal Justice. Monica was especially happy with this decision because her baby sister Tenille had also planned to attend (KSU). At an early age, it became evident Monica had inherited her father’s athletic skills. After her parents received a flyer about tryouts for a new boy’s basketball team at the East Cleveland YMCA, they decided to take Monica in for a tryout. They were confidant Monica could hold her own. When the coach witnessed what her parents already knew, she was selected and went on to be one of the team’s star players. At Monticello Middle School, she played field hockey, volleyball, and softball, but basketball was her first love and the sport where she really excelled. During high school and while attending a Cleveland Cavaliers’ basketball game, she was honored at half time for being one the area’s premier girl basketball player. Her fellow teammates and coach nicknamed her “Mack Truck”, mainly, because she was unstoppable. After graduating from college, she worked as a claim adjuster for a Highland Insurance Company. She went on to relocate to Augusta, Georgia as a claim adjustor for Husqvarna Machinery. Afterward, she worked for Kemper in Charlotte, North Carolina. Most recently, she was able to return to her roots by working virtually for Britton-Gallagher a Cleveland based company as a Claims Advocacy Leader. When people mention Monica, they always talk about her beautiful smile and her generous, quiet and humble spirit. Monica believed in being a team player, as well as the value of teamwork. She had a strong work ethic and was very knowledgeable in the field of technology. She was thought of as a “Technology Guru.” This resulted in her receiving more recognition and more responsibilities within the company. Within her family, she was very much loved, and always was willing to put other’s needs first. She wasn’t blessed with children of her own, but was able to pass on her loving spirit to other children. This included her nephew Robert, who affectionately called her “Auntie Mon-Mon.” Monica was a devoted wife, daughter, sister and aunt. She always enjoyed spending time with her family especially during holidays. Every Halloween, Robert would pick a theme and the family would dress up in costumes associated with theme.
