Heidi Coleman
Stansbury Park resident and mother of 3, Heidi Coleman, fondly recalls memories of floating the canal in her childhood home of St. George, UT. Family reunions spent with cousins, aunts, and uncles also fill Heidi with happy memories of her childhood. Yet, Heidi grew up quickly, and by age 17 Heidi had already become a CNA and met the man who would be future spouse, Joe, to whom she has been happily married to every since.
Because Heidi grew up in a small town, she gravitated towards the tight knit community of Stansbury Park. Their family, consisting of Kelsey, age 21, Cameron, age 18, and Jacen, age 14, has been enjoying this caring and supportive community for the past 13 years. Heidi’s sons are best buds, and since both have Down Syndrome, Heidi loves having a neighborhood that knows and cares for them and is helping them to live their best life possible.
Heidi loves life and all that it has to offer and especially cherishes her relationships with dear friends and family. Heidi brings life to everything she touches. She is organized, creative, and full of fun. She simply makes everything better-whether that is organizing and designing a new space or planning an incredible party! Her greatest passion in life is her family and spending time with them, whether that be camping or simply being together - her greatest hobby in life is simply being wherever they are. And her friends and family know and feel her love and commonly describe her as kind, supportive, and always, always serving wherever she goes.
Heidi was diagnosed with Stage 3 Triple Negative Invasive Ductal Carcinoma in January 2022. She started chemotherapy that same month and finished chemo on July 22 of that same year. Then, on, August 25, she had a double mastectomy, from which she is currently healing, after which she will undergo 25 radiation treatments. It has been a rollercoaster of a year to say the least. In addition to the physical and emotional toll that such a journey takes on someone, cancer has taken an especial toll on Heidi’s husband and daughter, Kelsey, as they have stepped in to try to make life as normal as possible for Cameron and Jacen. Keeping a routine for them has been a huge priority, and Joe and Kelsey, as well as Heidi’s mother, have sacrificed much to keep the family going during this time.
Still, Heidi feels that cancer has taught her a great deal, including a greater capacity to love each person even more every day and to never, ever take anything for granted. She has come to understand on an even deeper level the value of friends and family and the angels that are there to support her. She has come to see just how many people she has in her corner loving her and cheering her on. Heidi finds hope in knowing that her loved ones, and even people who don’t even know her, are praying on her behalf. And in this season of trial and uncertainty, she finds peace in the words of Proverbs 3:5-6, trusting in the Lord to guide and direct the path of her family.
