Heather Ulrich, born on December 3, 1986, in St. Louis, Missouri, gracefully departed from this world on January 14, 2025, in Troy, Missouri. She was a beacon of love and compassion throughout her life nurturing her strong will and the determination to help others in every role she played—whether as a loving mother, a dedicated Licensed Practical Nurse, or a well respected supervisor at General Motors.
With a career that spanned over a decade focused on care and support, Heather exemplified selflessness. She pursued her education at St. Charles West High School, graduating in 2005, and later attended St. Charles Community College, always preparing herself to serve and uplift those around her.
Heather was a vibrant soul whose smile would light up any room, a sentiment fondly remembered by her mother, Michelle, who takes comfort in their cherished moments together. Her husband, Craig Ulrich, loved and adored her greatly, a bond that resonated deeply within their family, especially for their cherished children: Bodhi Kai, Zona Kimber, Carter Joseph, and Connor Landon. She invested her heart and soul into motherhood, wholeheartedly attending every concert, school function, and significant event in her children's lives, always striving to be there for them.
Her brother Garrett was not only a sibling but also a fierce protector, and the two of them shared an unbreakable bond, always looking out for each other. Her memory lingers fondly for her brothers Kyle and Tyler, her sister Jessica, and her lovable extended family, including her grandmothers Phyllis Mace and Mildred Wadley.
Heather’s spirit was marked by a love for life, an unwavering kindness, and a compassion that knew no bounds. Glen remembers a particularly humorous memory at the park when she comically called out, "Come kill it! Come kill it!" to her brother Garrett, while attempting to rid herself of a bug, encapsulating her joyful and spirited nature.
Among her proudest achievements stood her son Bodhi, whom she considered the highlight of her life. Heather's love for travel, especially her fondness for Florida and its beautiful beaches, showcased her vibrant zest for life.
Heather is survived by her loving husband; Craig Ulrich, Parents; Michelle Wadley and Glen Wadley, children; Bodhi Kai Ulrich, Zona Kimber Ulrich, Carter Joseph Ulrich, Connor Landon Ulrich, siblings; Garrett (Sheri) Wadley, Kyle (Bella) Wadley, Tyler Hart, Jessica (Kevin) Ferrel, grandmothers; Phyllis Mace, Mildred Wadley, and many loving aunts, uncles, and cousins.
