Heather's obituary

Heather Quinn, a loving and giving soul, has passed away on March 1, 2024. Born on June 20, 1988, Heather lived a life filled with kindness, compassion, and an intense love for animals. 

Her vibrant personality made her a beacon of love and kindness in the lives of those who knew her. Vibrant and dynamic, she was always ready to lend a hand, and her home was renowned for its cleanliness and order. Known for her deep affection towards animals, her bond with her dog Loki was a testament to her nurturing nature.

The lessons she shared were simple yet powerful: to always show love and kindness to others. A Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), Heather spent a significant part of her life caring for her Uncle Gary, a task that she undertook not as a duty, but as a labor of love. But her role as a caregiver did not end there.  Heather also spent her time as a caregiver of children, being a nanny (Auntie Heather) to many of her friends' children.

She leaves behind a legacy of kindness, cleanliness, and generosity that will continue to inspire those who were fortunate to have known her. Heather is survived by her parents Kenneth Reitz and Laura Quinn, Paternal Father, Rusty Smith, her brothers Rocky Reitz, Matthew (Quinn) Reitz, and Trenton Smith, and her sisters Amy Reitz Gahala, Ashley Quinn, and Amanda Williams Smith.

Heather's passing creates a void that will be impossible to fill. However, her memory will live on in the hearts of all those who loved her. In lieu of flowers, funds are being raised to help with funeral expenses at the following location: https://everloved.com/life-of….

Heather's life was a testament to the power of love, kindness, and compassion. She will be deeply missed by everyone who had the privilege of knowing her, especially her dog Loki.
