Heather Marie Blaze

With heavy hearts and deep love, we announce the passing of our beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend, Heather Marie Blaze, who went home to be with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on October 18, 2026, at the age of 72, with her daughters lovingly by her side.

She was a woman of tremendous faith, a loving heart, and a deep devotion to her family. Her love for Jesus was the foundation of her life. She believed in the power of prayer and found comfort, strength, and peace in her relationship with the Lord.

She enjoyed the simple blessings of life, including working on puzzles, spending time with loved ones, and reading her daily devotional, Jesus Calling. Her faith was not simply something she spoke about; it was something she lived.

Above all, she loved her family. Her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren were among her greatest blessings. Her love reached far beyond her immediate family, touching the hearts of friends, extended family, and the many people who were fortunate enough to know her.

She leaves behind her loving children; Terry Francis (Berenice) of Texas, Melissa Radatz (Paul) of Wisconsin, Jason Dove (Beth) of Georgia, Destiny Brookins (Phillip) of Florida, and Brandy (Roy) of Florida.

She was also blessed with a large and loving family of grandchildren and their loved ones, including: Jordan (Thomas), Michelle, Amber (Ella, Braxton, Joshua), Jonathon (Sammy), Kelsey (Terry), Jacobie, Makalya (Dawson, Paisley), Connor, Megan (Nick), Taylor (Alex), Jason Jr., McKenzie, Bailey, RJ, Blake, Mason, Addilynn, Caitlin, Matthew, Scarlett, Daniela, Dariana, and Natalia.

She also leaves behind cherished great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews, all of whom held a special place in her heart.

Among her beloved nieces and nephews are Jeremy (Martha), Carlton (Andrea), Katrina, and Mary (John).

She was blessed with treasured friendships, including Nikki (Tommy), Pat, Rhonda, and Cheryl. She also held a special place in her heart for her faithful prayer warriors, whose prayers, friendship, and love meant so much to her.

She was preceded in death by her one true love, Jack Blaze; her beloved daughter, Stephanie Chandler; her parents; and her siblings.

Although our hearts are broken by her passing, we find comfort in knowing that she is now resting peacefully in the arms of Jesus, reunited with those she loved and missed so dearly.

Her life was a beautiful reminder that love is not measured by the years we are given, but by the lives we touch, the memories we create, and the faith we carry.

Her family will forever cherish her love, her prayers, her laughter, and the countless memories that will remain in their hearts.

Her earthly journey has ended, but her heavenly life has just begun.

Well done, good and faithful servant. — Matthew 25:23

Until we meet again, we will carry your love in our hearts. ❤️

This tribute was lovingly prepared by Ms. Blaze’s family.
