HEIDI SALE Obituary

Heidi Ann Sale After a long battle with cancer, Heidi Ann Sale passed away at her home in Graham, WA on January 31, 2011. Born Heidi Ann Ferguson in Tacoma, WA on October 11th 1974, she was surrounded by her loving family when her spirit went to be with the Lord. Heidi was an avid soccer player at Washington High School and a fan of the sport her whole life. Her lifelong dream of marrying and having children was fulfilled, and she loved to spend time doing crafts to decorate her home and making mementos for her children. She made every holiday and birthday a special occasion for them, her little miracles, her gifts from God. Heidi will always be remembered for her tremendous will to survive. People who met her were commonly drawn to her kindness and sweet personality. She will be greatly missed by everyone who knew her and her spirit will live on in the hearts of many. Heaven get ready - you've never seen an angel quite like this one before! Heidi is survived by her husband of ten years, Darin Sale, and their two young children, Hannah (8) and Andrew (4). Also, her parents William Glaholt and Carol Glaholt (Austin) of Yelm and father Thomas Ferguson, two siblings, Kristie "krickie" Ferguson and Jared Ferguson, as well as niece Makenzie Ferguson and nephews Kale and Chase Ferguson. Also numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and many friends who have loved Heidi and will miss her tremendously. Heidi's final resting place will be at Fir Lane Memorial Park in Spanaway, WA and her memorial service will be held at Life Center in Tacoma, WA on February 11, 2011 at 1pm. Everyone is welcome to attend the service. Heidi's family would like to give special thanks to the PTA and staff at Graham Elementary School for all their support and encouragement over the past year. And a very special thank you to Lanell, Mary, Shannon and Sara for their constant friendship, love and support for Heidi and her family when she needed it the most. Donations for Heidi's children can be made to the Heidi Sale Memorial Fund at any Wells Fargo Bank branch.

Hannah & Andrew,
I think about your mommy pretty much every day. I miss her too! I have never in my life seen someone show such care and tenderness to others as your mom did. I aspire to be more like her and will carry her memory with me for the rest of my life. I know she is watching over you both and loves you with every bit of her soul. Always keep Jesus close to your heart, that is what your mommy would have told you. I love you both!

I have so many childhood memories with Heidi. I always looked up to her like an older sister. Even as a child I knew that she was extraordinary. Her compassion and her faith truly amazed me and continues to do so. Anyone who had the privledge to know her was a better person because of it. Her children now have a wonderful angel looking after them.

Anyone who had the pleasure and honor of knowing Heidi, even for a short time, was drawn to her by her beautiful and friendly face first, however, you soon realized that Heidi's soul was what was radiating outward. She was simply a beautiful person outside and most importantly inside. She was caring to all she met and always offered a kind word and a warm and genuine smile. I will think of Heidi and smile and will pray for peace for her family and those closest to her. Know that she will watch over you from above and that when you meet again she will, once again, welcome you with a warm smile.

Hannah & Andrew,
Your mommy was truly a beautiful angel among us. She touched so many lives with her kind and gentle spirit, her amazing will & determination, and most of all her immense love and dedication, especially to the two of you... her precious babies. Have faith in Jesus always and allow him to guide and comfort you as he heals your aching hearts. We hope you will find peace, strength and joy in the sweet and loving memories you created with your mom and know she is in Heaven watching over you now. Our prayers are with you and your family…

My fondest memory of Heidi is when she and I would take Scrappi and Rambo for walks around the block. One afternoon I remember looking at her and realizing she was growing into a beautiful young lady and I told her Heidi you are so pretty you remind me of Jennifer Aniston. I think I embarressed her a little bit that day. Little did I know then the strength and the beauty that was inside. Heidi really was a star.

Once in a while you are privileged to meet an angel on earth. Heidi was one of those and was a joy to know. Her light will continue to shine to all of us as a beacon of hope when times are low. If only we could have the courage she had to live each day to its fullest.
