Heather Marie Hargrove, age 43, died peacefully in the presence of her family on the morning of Wednesday, November 10 ^th , 2021 at Temecula Valley Hospital in Temecula, CA after losing her battle with cancer.

Heather was born on March 4 ^th , 1978 in Fallbrook, CA, the firstborn child of William and Kathy Hargrove. She graduated from Fallbrook Union High School, and went on to attend MiraCosta College, where she received her Associate Degree in Nursing. Heather spent the majority of her career as a Registered Nurse providing hospice care and home health care for children.

Heather is survived by her father William, her mother Kathy, her two brothers Matthew and Shane, and numerous others.

Besides spending time with family and friends, Heather was an avid reader and EXPERT at word puzzles. Heather enjoyed dancing, listening to music, holiday gatherings, and family beach trips. Heather was known for her expressiveness and impassioned speaking style despite her diminutive stature. Although sometimes blunt with her words, Heather's choice of profession revealed her true nature: caring and generous to those who needed it the most. The world is a quieter but much sadder place without her.

Family and friends are invited to attend a memorial service at Living Waters Christian Fellowship located at 2000 Reche Road, Fallbrook, CA 92028 on Saturday, December 4 ^th at 2:00 PM to honor her memory. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the American Cancer Society at www.cancer.org or St. Jude Children's Research Hospital at www.stjude.org .
