Heidi was a dedicated, lifelong vegan; it was a lifestyle that was important to her well-being and reflected her passion for the ethical treatment of all living creatures. Heidi was an excellent cook and enjoyed sharing vegan dishes with friends and family. She loved to entertain which included hosting holidays for family and various gatherings with friends. Incredibly social and outgoing, Heidi cherished the time she spent with family and friends. She enjoyed traveling and visited Mexico, China, and several destinations in Europe. She had plans to travel back to Europe to meet her stem cell donor who is from Germany. One of Heidi’s favorite places to visit was her aunt’s home in Frankfort, Michigan.

Her greatest joy in life was watching her daughter Mya play hockey. Heidi, Shane, and Mya have a wonderful hockey family and have made a lot of happy memories traveling and attending tournaments all over the country.
