Heather Lane Obituary
Heather's love for the Detroit Tigers, the beauty of Michigan's Upper Peninsula, watching birds at her feeders, and the peace she found in practicing yoga were some of the things that brought her the most joy.
She is survived by her daughter, Amanda Judkins (Ryan); her mother, Rita Lane; Her sister, Jaime Miller (Mark); her nieces, Taylor (Ernie), Kailey and Emmalyn; and her great-niece, Kamdyn. Heather was very excited to meet her expected great-nephew, Beckham. She was preceded in death by her father, Dan Lane.
Heather will be remembered for her humor, her soft heart, and the love she carried for the people in her life. Her absence is felt deeply, and her memory will be carried forward in stories, and laughter, and in all the places she loved most.
Per her wishes, formal funeral services will not be held. In lieu of flowers, a memorial fund will be established in Heather's name. Contributions may be made to Amanda in care of Ryan Funeral Home, 305 N. Tenth Street, De Pere, WI 54115.

I was training Heather to be a fellow manager when this happened. My co- workers as well as myself are deeply saddened by her passing. We absolutely adored her. She was the blessing we all needed. I miss her already! We had so much in common and she had become my friend. I will continue to pray for the family and please know, we thought the world of her. What a wonderful person you've lost. If anyone needs anything, please reach out. Many hugs and prayers!

Rita and Jamie. Not sure if you remember me or not, but I used to babysit for the girls many years ago. I am so very sorry for your loss. Hold tight to the good memories. Hugs to all.
