Obituary

Nov 23 2020 USEA Ava Hingson, a 19-year-old from Cornwall, Connecticut, passed away on Tuesday, November 17, 2020 in a tragic freak accident on a trail ride. Daughter of Drew Hingson and Elise Meneshian-Hingson, Ava was a sophomore at Sewanee: University of The South studying English Literature and was an active member of Sewanee's intercollegiate eventing team. Ava grew up riding in the hunter ring and took a step back from riding when she entered high school. While at school at Sewanee, she developed a love for the sport of eventing through the instruction of Sewanee's equestrian coach, Karine Gordy. Ava and her beloved horse Red competed in her first horse trials in November 2019 at the River Glen Horse Trials, placing second. "Ava embodied everything you could possibly want in a friend," shared Kit Ferguson, Ava's friend and fellow intercollegiate eventing teammate. "She was swift to love and quick to show kindness. These qualities are what made her such an outstanding horse person and vital member of the Sewanee eventing team. She will be terribly missed by those lucky enough to have known her." Ava is survived by her parents; maternal grandparents, Hagop and Sylviagene Meneshian; her beloved uncle, Dicron Meneshian; and a host of special aunts, uncles, and cousins from both the Meneshian and Hingson sides of her family. She is preceded in death by her paternal grandparents, Robert Hingson and Gussie Dickson-Hingson. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Teach America at P.O. Box 398305, San Francisco, California 94139. Memories and condolences can be shared with her family at www.cumberlandfuneralhome.net. The USEA extends our deepest condolences to Ava's family and friends.

Obituary from The Tifton Gazette

Ava Augusta Hingson, age 19, of Cornwall, Connecticut, passed away November 17, 2020 in a riding accident. As a scion of JAJ Henderson and his wife Martha Paulk Henderson, she spent innumerable summers and holidays at his Ocilla homeplace. While there she trained at stables in Pearson and Tifton.
She was born on May 20, 2001, in Sharon, Connecticut to Andrew Hingson and Elise Meneshian Hingson. She was a second-year English literature student at The University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee. During her time in college, she rapidly progressed as a member of the Equestrian Team, as an artist, lover of nature, and, profoundly, as a poet. Her spirit captured all she met and pointed towards an enriched way of living. Ava's radiance will endure in us.

Other than her parents, she is survived by her maternal grandparents, Hagop and Sylviagene Meneshian, her beloved uncle, Dicron Meneshian and a host of loving aunts, uncles, and cousins from both sides of her family. She is also preceded in death by her Ocilla paternal grandparents, renowned physician and humanitarian, Robert A. Hingson and Gussie Dickson Hingson.
She will be interred Wednesday, December 2, 2020 at 11:00 A.M., in the Henderson plot at Brushy Creek Cemetery, Ocilla, Georgia. A gathering and informal lunch for all will be held afterwards on the front lawn of the Henderson House, 804 South Irwin Avenue, Ocilla for any who might care to attend.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to a scholarship fund at The University of the South.
