Heather Goddard Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Jul. 22 to Jul. 24, 2011.
Heather Louisa Goddard 11/25/1972 - 7/11/2011 It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Heather Louisa Goddard. After struggling with viral myocarditis, she passed away July 11, 2011 in San Francisco, CA. Heather was born in San Francisco on November 25, 1972, to Marian Davidson and Greg Goddard. She graduated from Lowell High School and received her B.A. from UC Santa Cruz. Heather pursued a career in acting in Los Angeles. As a member of the Screen Actors Guild, she performed on stage, in film, as well as on TV. In addition to acting, she wrote screenplays, produced, and founded her own film company. She was also a noted poet and writer. In 2006, she married, and last May they had a son, Dylan Hawk. She was a proud wife and mother who loved her family with passion and dedication. Friends remember her generosity, strength, and fiery spirit. She lived life to the fullest, loved unconditionally, forgave with an open heart, and set the standard for being a strongly opinionated, intelligent, and beautiful woman. Heather was called the Alpha Warrior and embodied it to the truest form. Left to mourn her are her husband and son, mother, father, stepmother Miguelina, stepfather Michael, sisters Vari and Camila, nephews Luke and Ian, additional family and countless friends. A private memorial will be arranged.
