Jennifer Renee Heiser

April 2, 1986 to June 27, 2011

Trust in the Lord

Our beautiful ray of sunshine that lit up a dark room went home to the Lord on Monday, June 27th. Her everlasting smile will be remembered by all. Her bubbly personality fit right in with her career of choice as an activity program director in the health care field for over eight years.

Jennifer was loved by all and was known to her family and friends as Barbie because she was her Mom’s Barbie.

She enjoyed volunteering for numerous charities in the Valley including The Heart Walk and the Children’s Miracle Network Telethon. Jennifer enjoyed spending time with family, friends, and her longtime love Adam. She also loved going to the movies and you could always find her at the gym. As a child, Jennifer was a softball all-star and a third degree blue belt in karate. She excelled in school and everything she pursued. She had a love of animals, especially her cats.

Jennifer did more in brief 25 years than most do in a lifetime. She lived life to its fullest everyday. Being the life of the party you would often find her on the dance floor. She was an optimistic go-getter with a heart of gold.

Jennifer is survived by her Mom Lisa Heiser, Father Bill Heiser and Step Mom Jill Heiser, Grandma Janis Buchter, Grandpa and Grandma Bill and Jo Heiser, Aunt Lori Buchter, Uncle Dennis Jenkins, Aunt Deborah Callahan, Uncle Lee Noriega, Aunt Margorie Koetting, Aunt Dawn Morton, Uncle Dave Heiser, and numerous cousins, nieces and nephews.

Visitation will be held on Wednesday, July 6, 2011 from 2:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. at Stratford Evans Merced Funeral Home. Funeral services will be held on Thursday, July 7, 2011 at 10:00 a.m. at the Christian Life Center, 650 East Olive Avenue, Merced. Burial will follow at Merced District Cemetery.
