Heather Ann Marie Carli's Obituary
Heaven has a sassy, spunky new angel. We have seen many Rainbows this week that have told us she has arrived!! Heather Ann Marie Carli passed away very peacefully in her home March 4th, surrounded by people who loved her dearly.
Heather was a healthy beautiful young lady, a senior at Rainier High School when our lives forever changed. March 23rd, 2007 she was involved in a tragic motor vehicle accident that transformed her body, but not her spirit and desire to still be on this planet.
Heather became a beautiful teacher, and with the support of her Mother, has helped train Home Care Aids for the State of Washington through Catholic Community Services. She was her Mother’s motivation and primary example of how to treat all humans with dignity, respect and independence. No matter their age or disability.
Heather was blessed to have many hands loving and caring for her. A special Thank you to all the caregivers and “Heather Momma’s” who loved her so well.
She is survived by her Mother, Tracy Carli, Mike Harritt, Brother Joe (wife Heather Rose) Mike Harritt Jr. and Jammie Thornton, Erika Vinyard (Nanny) Yelm, Jeffery Vinyard, (Jenny) CA. Aunt Kris Diddens (Mark Diddens) Sunneyside Wa, Aunt Kathy Vinyard Gigharbor, Uncle Dan Tryon (Sarah) Yelm, and many other family members. She was preceded in death by her Father, Chet Carli and Uncle Wayne Carli as well as many Grandparents.
Please help us celebrate this beautiful ladies life, April 9th, 2pm at Rainier High School. Donations can be made to the Rainier Education Foundation for the Angel Scholarship in Heather’s name.
