Heather was preceded in death by her husband, Todd Erchul. She left behind her daughter, Joell, and her son, Gibson. As well as her sister, Marnie, her brother, Erik, her parents, Roger and Janice, and her dog, Bella. She is further survived by many relatives and friends.

Heather was a graduate of Nathan Hale High School, despite her knack for skipping class. She made time to sew her own prom dress and ran on the track team. After high school she attended Madison Area Technical College, completing a two-year degree in Veterinary Technology. She worked at Abbott Labs before coming back to the family fish business. Heather was dedicated to Aquatics Unlimited for over 20 years and loved tropical fish.

She was especially proud of her children and all that they have accomplished, both of them happy in their chosen careers after college. Heather was a free spirit who could bring humor to any situation. She had a deep love for animals, music, and nature. She cared for all creatures great and small: dogs, cats, bunnies, birds, fish, iguanas… favorites included Reggin and Stampy, her beloved Newfoundlands, and her cat “Kitty”.

She loved the sun, the moon, the stars and the planet. She had earthly dreams to help the world, but God needed her in heaven. Her kind spirit will be remembered, always.

A celebration of her life will be held on Saturday, May 30th at Club Paragon located at 3578 S 108th St, Greenfield, WI 53228, from noon to 5p.m.
