Millicent 'Midge' Aycock

It is with heavy hearts we share that Millicent “Midge” Aycock of Alexandria, VA passed away unexpectedly on December 17, 2021. To us she was a mom, mother-in-law, grandmother, friend...and most importantly, a steady and positive light in our lives.

Survived by her son Jonathan Aycock, spouse Corinne Aycock, and three grandchildren: Olivia, Hannah, and Zachary. She is predeceased by her husband Marlyn Aycock, son Timothy Aycock, sister Miriam (Bloom) Curtis, and brother Charles Bloom. Midge used her intellect, kindness, and spirit for adventure to create wonderful events and lasting memories. She will be dearly missed by all.

Midge was born on July 21, 1934 in North Branch, MN to parents Herbert and Mildred (Ahl) Bloom. She attended North Branch High School and graduated from The University of Minnesota, majoring in education in 1956. After graduation, she became a teacher and married Marlyn Aycock. Over the next few years they were able to live and work in Richmond, VA; London, England; Frankfurt, Germany; and Louisville, KY, before establishing a home base in Alexandria, VA in 1965.
