Support the Frederick Family

We were all deeply saddened and shocked by the unexpected passing of Heather Frederick, a beloved physical education teacher at Heineman Middle School, who passed suddenly on January 8th, 2023. We would like to establish this fund in loving memory of Heather, who was a teacher for over 20 years, a mother, daughter, sister, new grandmother, friend, and colleague.

There are no words to capture the profoundly deep sadness of losing Heather for those closest to her in her personal life, and those touched by the tremendous talents and qualities she brought to her professional life. That sadness is tempered only by an even more profound gratitude for the lasting ways in which Heather changed, inspired, and strengthened those who knew her. Heather modeled a level of empathy and care that set a standard for the rest of us. She started the Give Love For Life Organization, which focused on raising money to assist families in the community that needed help due to unforeseen circumstances.

We ask those who loved Heather, from all corners of her life, to come together to support her husband Ryan, who is understandably heartbroken after losing the love of his life.

Thank you so much for supporting Heather’s family through this incredibly difficult time, easing the financial burden, and offering a comforting reminder of the impact that Heather had on the world.
