**Obituary for Sue Heath**

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Sue Heath, who left this world peacefully on December 2, 2025, at the age of 72. Born on August 15, 1953, in Austin, Texas, Sue's vibrant spirit shone brightly throughout her life, leaving an indelible mark on all who knew her. She spent her later years in Heber Springs, Arkansas, where she embraced nature, family, and the simple joys of life.

Sue was a devoted mother to her son, Brian Pringle, her greatest creation, and a loving daughter Kiersty Although she faced the heartbreak of losing her beloved daughter, Kiersty Pringle, in January 2022, Sue's strength and resilience continued to inspire her family. She is survived by her loving grandchildren, Maurgan Henry, and Kierstyn, Auston, Briton, and Riley Pringle, and her treasured great-grandchild, D'Jaydan. Susy also leaves behind her cherished sister, Joy Kimbrough, and Kimberly Heath, along with many nieces, nephews, and heartfelt connections.

A talented quilter and crocheter, Suzy created beautiful blankets that brought warmth and comfort to her family. She spent countless cherished moments outdoors at the family ranch, where she loved to help make her beloved peach cobbler, a true crowd-pleaser at family gatherings. Her loving dog, Chulita, and cat, Oscar, were constant companions

With a career, Suzy retired from the Abilene State School as a Care giver and then dedicated many years as a phlebotomist at Hendricks Hospital North in Abilene, Texas, as well as in Arkansas. Her caring nature extended far beyond her profession, touching the lives of countless friends and family members.

A graveside service will be held to honor Suzy's life at Elmwood Memorial Park in Abilene, Texas, on December 22, 2025, at 3:00 PM. Friends and family are invited to gather as we remember the warmth, love, and joy that Sue brought into our lives.
