Hinchberger

Rick Lee Hinchberger, 75, passed away peacefully Tuesday, Aug. 19, 2025, at his home in Midlothian, Va., after a long illness.

Rick was born and raised in Pennsylvania and was a graduate of Westminster College, New Wilmington, where he met his beloved wife, Mary. In 1973, they were married and then moved to Virginia, where Rick attended Union Presbyterian Seminary, graduating with an Master of Divinity degree in 1977.

After seminary, Rick briefly worked as a stockbroker and analyst but spent most of his career as a portfolio manager. He loved the investment business and loved working with his clients.

Rick took an active role in his church and his community. He attended Salisbury Presbyterian Church, where he sang in the Chancel Choir, at various times rang handbells with the Salisbury Ringers, served as an elder and clerk of session and was a participant in numerous committees and outreach activities.

Rick was a great conversationalist, an avid reader and a committed walker. He was known for his unwavering kindness, his strong leadership, his steadfast nature and his great sense of humor. He took on new roles, adventures and opportunities with openness and integrity. He was most proud of his family and found great joy in spending time with them.

Rick was preceded in death by his father, William Dale Hinchberger; his mother, Mary Evalyn Hinchberger; and his brother, Terry Dale Hinchberger.

He is survived by his loving wife of 52 years, Mary Hinchberger; his children, Erin Owens (Brad) and John Hinchberger; his grandchildren, Ellie Owens and Declan Owens; and his sister, Judy Whitacre (Cork); as well as many loving in-laws, nieces and nephews.
