A farewell to Heidi
A New Orleans-style jazz funeral to celebrate Heidi Deleuil, complete with a band and a Second Line, will begin at 3 p.m. Sunday, March 22, in downtown Cocoa Beach.
Heidi, who owned Heidi's Jazz Club and Heidelberg Restaurant with her husband Edmond Deleuil, died in January.
New Orleans singer Sybil Gage, a frequent performer at Heidi's Jazz Club, will be parade master leading the processional. She will be followed by Heidi's Jazz Band and Edmond Deleuil, who will ride in a horse-drawn carriage. Guests are invited to fall into a Second Line behind the carriage and dance along the route waving decorated umbrellas and white handkerchiefs, a jazz funeral tradition.
Participants will meet in the parking lot behind Cocoa Beach City Hall, 2 S. Orlando Ave., at 2 p.m., with the processional beginning at 3 p.m. Mourners will stop at a stage in front of Heidi's Jazz Club for a jazz jam session hosted by Ron Teixeira.
Heidi's Jazz Club is at 7 N. Orlando Ave., Cocoa Beach. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the music scholarship programs at Satellite Beach and Cocoa Beach high schools.

Kurt Zimmerman, who passed away in 2017, was an artist beloved by many Brevardians. His works line the walls at Heidelberg Jazz Club and both locals and out-of-towners collect his paintings.

The show opens with a reception from 6 to 9 p.m., Saturday, March 21, at the Jeanine Taylor Folk Art gallery, 211 E. 1st. St., Sanford. UCF professor emerita Dr. Kristin Congdon will offer recollections and remarks at 7 p.m., The retrospective is the first of its kind since his death.
An emigrant from Germany, Zimmerman grew up in New York State and enlisted in the Army after high school. He performed bombing missions over his homeland during World War II that deeply affected his emotional health. He returned to the United States and was hired to work on the Apollo project for General Electric. More stress and depression lead him to quit his job and turn to art for therapy.
