Tiffany Lea Heim

Tiffany Lea Heim, 48, was suddenly taken from this life in the wake of the tornado that struck London, Kentucky on Saturday, May 17, 2025. Born on December 14, 1976 in Fort Myers, Florida to Glenna Farmer Angel and the late Clifford Porter, Tiffany lived a life filled with warmth, adventure, love for her family and friends, and a passion for the natural world.
Tiffany is survived by many beloved family members including her mother, Glenna Angel; stepfather, Patrick Angel; daughter, Claire Heim; and, grandchild, Myla Berryman. Tiffany was a wonderful mother and treasured her granddaughter, Myla, who was the joy of her life. She also leaves behind two sisters, Tess Angel Spradlin and her husband Ashley Spradlin, and Hannah Angel, along with a host of other family and friends who will deeply mourn her passing.
In her early career, Tiffany worked as a dental hygienist for many years. However, she was most fulfilled by her interest and passion for horticulture and the environment. In 2014, Tiffany worked as a reforestation technician for Green Forests Work, planting trees and restoring mined lands in Appalachia for several years. More recently, Tiffany worked as a floral designer in London, KY, and manager for a greenhouse complex in McKee, KY.
Tiffany brought her artistic talent to all facets of her life, including in her floral design, paintings, gardening, beading, embroidery, and her signature "Tiers of Joy". Tiffany had a deep love for all genres of music and played the oboe and banjo. She loved opportunities to travel and meet new people, and she achieved her dream of visiting Norway in 2019.
She was known for her spunky personality, zest for life, infectious laugh, ability to make friends with anyone, and her kindness and generosity. Her heart of gold touched countless lives, and she will be dearly missed by all who knew her.
