Heather Ann Woolf Wisdom, loving wife, mother, daughter, sister and friend, passed from this life into eternity on Wednesday, May 18, 2022. She was 42 years young. Heather was born to James and Rebecca Woolf while James was attending dental school in San Francisco, California, but she spent the majority of her life in Arizona.
Heather had a happy childhood as the only girl in a family of three brothers whom she loved dearly. From a young age Heather showed remarkable determination, generosity, intelligence and a spiritual depth beyond her years. She attended Eastern Arizona College, Chandler Gilbert Community College and Arizona State University, where she excelled academically with a near perfect grade point average.
Heather met her eternal companion and best friend, Jeffrey Wisdom, on a blind date and both of them quickly knew that they belonged together. Their marriage has been a beautiful example of faithfulness, loyalty and love. Their joy was magnified beyond measure at the birth of their twins, Benjamin and Elizabeth, in 2007.
For the past 20 years of her life, Heather has suffered from a series of debilitating health challenges. In spite of this she has lived her life to the fullest, with a passion for finding joy in every circumstance. She has continued to serve others, develop her many talents and bring light and love to those around her.
Heather had perfect faith in our Heavenly Father’s love and His plan for her life. We know that she is now rejoicing with her Savior, Jesus Christ, and her beloved grandparents who preceded her in death, Wanda and Wilbur Woolf and Darrell and Marjorie Smith. She is survived by her husband Jeff, the love of her life, and her children Beth and Ben. She is also survived by her parents, James and Rebecca Woolf, mother-in-law Eloise Wisdom, brothers Eldon, Aaron and Darrell, sisters-in-law Angie, Deserea, Erin, Kari and Courtney, brother-in-law Brandon, and many beloved aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews and dear friends.
