Heaven Kathryne van den Ende McQuillen, 26, of Virginia Beach, formerly of Chance, passed away on Tuesday, August 25, 2020. Heaven grew up in Essex County, and was a life-long equine enthusiast. Her love for horses was paralleled only by her love for the water. These two passions were a reflection of the unmistakable and untamable spirit she possessed.
