TideWater is proud to support of The Abbie DeLoach Foundation. Abbie was a beloved member of her community who was especially passionate about athletics, nursing, and mission work. The foundation recognizes her “hard-work, self-discipline, leadership, love and laughter.” Award recipients are selected in terms of the extent they bear the qualities Abbie promoted in her life.
This year marks the first Abbie DeLoach Foundation Scholarship Luncheon. The Luncheon took place on May 25.
Remembering Abbie
Abbie’s father Jimmy remarked “Abbie was always very loyal and also concerned about others”. She always understood “to do the right thing” and did it. With the charity, Abbie’s family hopes for a legacy that will touch others as she would have in the spirit of “life and energy” both “financially and educationally.” She would be 23 today.
