Heidi CLAY Obituary
August 19, 1979 - September 13, 2017
It is with heavy hearts and great sadness that we announce the passing of our beautiful Heidi. Wife, mother, daughter, sister and friend. She touched so many and we loved her so much. She will be so missed. A celebration of her life will be held on Wednesday, September 20 at 2 p.m. at the Strasbourg Memorial Hall. Heidi lives on in her husband Jack Clay, her two daughters Samantha and Abigail and stepson Cole; her parents Corey and Carol Nordal, brother Matthew (Thera), Sister Erica (Chet), nieces and nephews Kadi, Ashton, Oliver, Carter and Brody; her in-laws Shelagh Pengelly (Lee) and Gene Clay, Grandma Evelyn Small and Nanny Kay Nordal. She joins her Grandpas Sam Small and Alf Nordal. Her Spirit will live on in so many more friends and family. We ask that donations be made to the "Heidi Clay Memorial Fund" set up through Affinity Credit Union to contribute towards the future of a Breast Cancer Rehabilitation Centre. Live, love, be generous with your heart and pay Heidi's kindness forward.

So sorry to hear of the tragic loss of such a beautiful woman inside and out. I always remember her smile would light up a room, and was always a joy to watch her dance. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. So tragic to lose a daughter, sister, wife, and mother. May you all find the strength and courage through this difficult time.

My fondest memory of Heidi is roaring around the agribition grounds with Heidi at the wheel of a gator, we were moving pointsettias and trying to keep them out of the cold. She was a lovely young woman and so much fun to work with!

To Heidi's Dear Family,
I am truly saddened to hear this devastating news. I was honoured to have taught Heidi when she was in Grade 4 and in Grade 5 in Bulyea. I knew then, that she would make a positive impact on her world and she certainly has! What a bright, kind, and thoughtful girl she was! I am truly blessed to have been a small part of her life. My thoughts are with each of you. May God wrap you in His loving and healing arms during this very sad time.
Love..."Miss Hackywicz"

My thoughts and prayers are with Heidi's young family. She got her angel wings too soon and I'm sorry of her loss. I had the pleasure of meeting Heidi in Trisha & Neil's wedding and she had the ingenuity to use duct tape for our bridesmaid dresses. I will remember her contagious smile & genuine spirit.
