It is with heavy hearts we share the news of Heidi Coates’s passing on July 6. Heidi was a beloved and devoted wife, mother, and sister, and a cherished part of our Valley Fellowship family for many years. Her life and love touched so many, and she will be deeply missed. We are grieving alongside her husband, Dennis, and their daughters, Ella, Clara, and Sara, and their family in this season of loss.

In honor of Heidi's life and legacy and in lieu of flowers, the family welcomes donations to a college fund for Clara, Ella, and Sara.

Please continue to pray for the Coates family as they walk through this tender time.
