Heather Elizabeth Whitcomb

Mason, Michigan

Heather Elizabeth Whitcomb was born on March 9, 1987 and passed away unexpectedly as a result of an auto accident on March 29, 2015. We will miss her terribly and will miss most her free spirit and unique outlook on the world.

Heather’s life was cut tragically short just as she began to pursue her education in nursing with a future goal of owning her own tattoo business. She also had a goal to ride horses and play her guitar more often. She was incredibly talented, deep and an introspective soul with a great sense of humor and could find a reason to laugh at most anything. She loved being a silly big sister and she cared deeply about the environment and was very connected to nature. She was curious, clever and interested in all things mystical.

Heather is from Mason, MI and is survived by her parents Eddie Whitcomb (Reneè Rivard), and Kimberly Whitcomb; brothers, Nicholas Whitcomb (Rebecca) and T.J. Booms (Cherie); sisters, Elise and Danielle Dodge and soul mate Aaron Miller; Grandmother MaryJane Seltz; niece and nephews Nora, Colin and Levi Booms; aunts and uncles, Cindy and Dwight Crowner, Debbie Tarrant, Tammy Whitcomb, Peggy and Nathan Foote, David Cheplick and cousins, Kris (Kristy) Tarrant, Tiffany (Lance) McCann, Jenna Tupper, Dwight Lynn Crowner, Ida, Myron, Jaime Hosey, AJ Foote, Marissa, Sam and Julianna Cheplick. Heather also had extended family in Bad Axe, MI, Patricia Rivard, Cheryl and Dave Rice, Larry and Pam Rivard, David and Sue Rivard and their families. Her beloved dog Kylie.

Heather was preceded in death by her grandparents, Doug Gramling, David and Joan Whitcomb and Marc John Seltz; aunt Linda Cheplick and cousin’s Casey and Carly Foote.
