Heidi Schulze Obituary
A generous and loving heart has left behind a legacy of strength and empowerment in the lives of countless Houstonians. Heidi Schulze born May 2, 1956 passed away on May 27, 2013 in Houston, Texas after losing her battle with ovarian cancer and complications from numerous strokes. In death as in life, she was surrounded by her loving family. Heidi was born in New York City and is survived by her beloved parents-Seymour and Fatima Mirrow, brother and sister in law-Alex and Angela Mirrow, nieces-Jasmine and Serena Mirrow, brother and sister in law- Eric and Dareena Mirrow. Heidi was one of Jehovah's Witnesses and she held a strong testimony and a hope of an eternal resurrection to life on a paradise earth, John 5:28-29 - Revelation21:3-4. Her faith and family were the strength of her life. She had a special love for her nieces and enjoyed sharing a great laugh at life together. Her life touched countless women as a beauty coach and makeup artist through her business, StarMaker. Her boutique brand found for decades in Houston's finest salons, Solution for Hair & Makeup owned by good friend Mark Horn, Michael Kemper Salon and Urban Retreat was her life work. At times in her career Heidi worked on the most famous of stars to include all of the ladies on the TV show Designing Women, men like Patrick Swayze, local socialites and friends like Joanne Herring and TV personalities like Bob Costas and her good friend Hannah Storm. She did the makeup for thousands of brides often driving to areas she had never been before to give a bride an extra boost of confidence by doing her make-up. Whoever she was helping, she was passionate about the results and found great personal satisfaction in the smiles of those who discovered a new sense of confidence through her work. Her career and philanthropic work took her around the country empowering women to discover their inner beauty while also enhancing their exterior beauty. She will be missed by many in Houston and beyond who considered her a true friend, a candid advisor and very loyal confidant. Heidi lived a life in 57 years that was bigger than most that make it to 100. She was a strong, faith filled, compassionate and talented woman whose presence filled a room and whose generous and kind spirit will be greatly missed by those she touched.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of Heidi. She was a constant friend in my life for over 25 years as she helped me cope with marriages, divorces, deaths and losses simply by listening as she took to your face to work magic to cover the sadness and tears. I will miss you sorely and will now take your beauty tips to help cover my tears. Rest in Heaven. With love, Pam Basco

Dignity is the first word that comes to my mind when I think about the great life and person of Heidi Schulze. Heidi dedicated herself and her career to dignifying the lives of countless women, and when faced with cancer Heidi fought with the utmost dignity every step of the way. In all our communications, in her sickness as in her health, Heidi's selflessness, strength, deep character and unwavering bravery profoundly moved and inspired me. I am honored to have known Heidi and played a part in her Houston beauty legacy—most especially her great love of people that did never discriminate. The ripple effect of the empowering, deeply kind treatment she gave to others is immeasurable and will live long. I join the many who will miss Heidi and are grateful for her life and work.

I am so devastated to learn of Heidi's passing. She really was a force of nature and utterly irreplaceable. I've known her for nearly 30 years professionally and went on to introduce both my daughters to her. They were both equally impressed by Heidi who was ageless. The world has truly lost one of its brightest lights. Deepest condolences to her family.
