It is with deep sadness that the Wethington family announces the passing of Heather Wethington at age 38. Though she is no longer with us here, she is finally at peace and no longer in pain. She conceded her fight with melanoma Sunday, Jan. 31, 2021, peacefully surrounded by family and friends. She can finally hike and mountain bike every trail without the burden of scans, harsh medication or pain. Heather was one of the strongest, warmest, most intelligent and ambitious women we knew. She lived every day to the fullest and never wasted a moment. Never one to settle down, she moved from place to place, seeking new trails to hike and friends to make. She spent six years in active duty for the Army, one of them in Iraq during âIraqi War,â where she was personally recognized with a challenge coin from Gen. Petraeus. She had many achievements, including qualifying air assault with the 101st Airborne Division, as well as drill sergeant.
