Heidi Armitage, 43, wife, mother, daughter, sister and great friend to all who knew her, died peacefully September 30th, 2009, at home in Westport CT, surrounded by her loving family.
With a twinkle in her eye and a smile on her face, Heidi lived life to the fullest.
She always saw the good in everyone and everything, and she sparkled with fun wherever she went.
She took her work seriously.
She wasn't a Stay-at-home-Mom; she was a Domestic Engineer.
She wasn't a Soccer Mom; she was a Soccer Manager.
She volunteered consistently and conscientiously at Coleytown Elementary and was known by all.
Her death came after a sixmonth battle with breast cancer.
Throughout her brief illness, Heidi maintained her sunny disposition and her sense of humor, even when the chips were down.
She turned every chemotherapy session into a party, with other patients and nurses crowding around her chair and helping her eat her favorite chocolates.
She was, in everything she did, and to everyone she touched, an inspiration.
Heidi is survived and celebrated by her husband, Adam Green, and their children, Walker, 9, and Georgia, 7.
By her parents, Bob Armitage and Carole Lipson and her husband Abbey, by her brother Bobby Armitage and his wife Natalie and their children Holden and Cassidy.
Heidi will be remembered by her many devoted friends in Westport, in Canada and around the world.
A Memorial Service celebrating Heidi's life will be held on Monday October 12th, at 4pm, at The Westport Country Playhouse. 25 Powers Court, Westport, CT 06880.
A Canadian Memorial service will be held at a later date T.B.A.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations in memory of Heidi Armitage to The Whittingham Cancer Center, Norwalk Hospital, Maple Street, Norwalk, CT 06853
