Heidi 'Gammie' Rose Marie Clifford, 70 years old, passed away surrounded by her loved ones on Sunday, July 20th 2025 in Midland, Michigan. She was born to the late Ernest and Katherine (Thompson) Tullos on August 8, 1954 in Harris County Texas. Gammie married the love of her life, Marvin 'Poppy' Sorters on December 18, 1999. From then on, until his death, they shared many loving years together.
Gammie always enjoyed reading, quilting, bingo, spending time with her family and loved ones, good food and watching Investigation Discovery. She was always strong, steadfast in her opinions, and unwavering in her faith.
Gammie lives on through her family and loved ones, those closest being her son Cheyenne Clifford, her daughter in law Jennifer Clifford, and her grandchildren, Emily Clifford, Anne Marie Clifford, Diego Tello, and Cheyenne Clifford Jr. Along with her great grandchildren, Bentley and Ailah.
A cremation has taken place so that she may be laid to rest where she belongs, in Texas, with her Poppy.
In place of flowers, those planning an expression of sympathy are asked instead to consider a celebration of life by having a glass of sweet tea and a shrimp cocktail in her honor.
Heidi 'Gammie' Rose Marie Clifford is finally at peace, and at last, whole again. She will be missed dearly but remembered indefinitely. To plant a beautiful memorial tree in memory of Rose, please visit our Tree Store.
