Betty Heising, 88, of Fair Oaks, California, passed away peacefully surrounded by her loving family on October 18. Born on August 21, 1937, in Petersburg, Michigan, Betty lived a full and meanÂingful life defined by love, strength, and an unwaverÂing devotion to her family and community.
A dedicated educator, Betty spent more than 60 years teaching and supportÂing children with special needs. Her compassion, patience, and belief in the potential of every child touched countless lives over the decades. Colleagues and students alike remember her as a mentor who led with her heart and taught with proÂfound understanding.
Bettyâs pride and joy was her family. She was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother. Her sons Kyle and Craig Heising survive her. Their bond was one of shared laughÂter, resilience, and unconÂditional support. Whether organizing family gathÂerings, cheering for her favorite teams, or relaxÂing by the water with a fishing pole in hand; her greatest joys were found in life’s simplest, meaningful moments.
Betty was an active member of the Catholic Church, finding peace and purpose in her faith. She lived in accordance with the teachings of kindness, serÂvice, and humility, always ready to lend a helping hand or a comforting word to those in need.
Betty will be rememÂbered as a loving and caring woman whose strength and pride in her family guided everything she did. Although no formal services will be held per Betty’s request, those who knew her are encouraged to honor her memory in their own wayâthrough acts of compassion, time spent with loved ones, and a quiet appreciation for the blessings of life
