On the evening of September 5th, 2022, after a courageous battle against cancer, one of the sweetest spirits this world has ever known, Heather Autumn Stuart, left us to be at peace.

Heather was a devoted mother of 2 (her firstborn, Gordon and her sassy little Mila), a thrilled grandmother (to Gordon's son Amais), a tireless worker (as her coworkers and friends at Marriott knew well) and a precious friend.

First in a line of 5 girls, she was beautiful, bright, caring and thoughtful. She is survived by her parents, Carroll and Kay Stuart, who will miss her warmth and wit terribly, and her four younger sisters - Holly (sp. Jeremy), Jenna (sp. Patrick), Rebecca (sp. Joe), and Cierra (sp. Alex) -  who all loved and adored her.  She will also be missed by her niece and many nephews - Audriana, Wyatt, Evan, Gabriel, Eric, and River - whom she always took time to visit with and be a friend to.

Heather lived most of her life in Orange County, most recently, Irvine CA, though she spent a few years in Park City, UT.  Heather loved the outdoors.  In her youth she spent many summer weekends visiting her grandparents at Lake Havasu, AZ boating, fishing, jet-skiing, swimming, and just enjoying the sunshine.  In more recent years she spent time at some of the lovely places in Utah pursuing her affinity for nature.  She was also always a beach baby and liked to spend time by the ocean when she could, too. She thought turtles were wonderful creatures. Anyone wishing to honour Heather can do so by donating to //https.seaturtlefoundation.org .

The family will not be having a traditional funeral service, but will be scheduling a memorial get together in the near future.

Thank you to all who came into her life and made it better as she made our lives better.
