A pianist with a passion for sharing music, 85-year-old Norfolk-native Cecelia Earle Bacon Hamlin was embedded in choir communities across Hampton Roads working as a music teacher and choir director at Surry County High School for 30 years and director of music at Norfolk United Methodist Church for 55 years.
Hundreds gathered Saturday at the Metropolitan Funeral Home on Granby Street to bid a final farewell to Sierra Jenkins. The 25-year-old reporter was one of two people killed in the early hours of March 19 at Chicho’s Pizza Backstage in downtown Norfolk. The gunfire, Norfolk Police Chief Larry Boone said, started after an argument over a spilled drink. Police have not identified any suspects in the shooting.
