Heather Marie Wiechert (Green)

Heather Marie (Green) Wiechert, age 42, previously of Concord Township, Ohio, passed away surrounded by her loving family in Bel Air, Maryland, on Monday, March 27th, 2023 after an eight year struggle with metastatic breast cancer.


Heather was the devoted wife of Matthew David Wiechert, a loving mother of two beautiful children Brenner Gray Wiechert and Auden Rose Wiechert, and a loving Aunt to Emily Schneider.


Born on May 30, 1980 in McCook, Nebraska, Heather is survived by her parents Robert and Veta (Persinger) Green, and brothers Rob (Kim Conniglio-Green) Green and Derek (Paul Melynkowski) Green, and maternal grandmother, Bessie Ann Persinger; also survived by aunts, uncles, cousins, and many close friends near and far.


Heather grew up in Lake County, Ohio, where she attended St. Justin Martyr Elementary School (Eastlake, Ohio) and Notre Dame Cathedral Latin High School (Chardon, Ohio) where she was actively involved in her schools and many many groups within the community. After high school, Heather attended Allegheny College in Meadville, PA, where she earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Education with a minor in Art.


After graduating from college in 2002, Heather worked as an art teacher at several schools in Phoenix, Arizona, as well as Bisbee, Arizona, and was proud yet humbled to receive letters from former students who attributed their success and journey in life to instruction received in her classroom(s).


Heather was an accomplished artist, and a member of the Arizona Artists Guild. Her works of art generally incorporated something of importance to her, were packed full of expression or were light hearted with a smidgeon of silly. “What a beautiful mess!” She opened her first gallery (Heather Green Studios) in Phoenix, Arizona, before relocating and reopening in Bisbee, Arizona.


In 2012, Heather ended her teaching career to become a full time mother. She excelled at mother-hood, and it was no surprise that her children would become her greatest masterpieces, nurturing them at every turn to help them learn and grow. Before relocating to Joppa, MD to be near family, she served as Board President at Bisbee Montessori School.


Heather led an extraordinary life, and will be remembered by so many as a most remarkable person who showed empathy, kindness, support and compassion for others always. As evidenced during her life, she welcomed opportunities to make the world a better place for the communities she served and touched the lives of many people.


The family would like to extend a special thank you to all the doctors and nursing staff at Upper Chesapeake Medical Center, University of Arizona Cancer Center, and especially Dr. Pavani Chalasani, Dr. Natalya Melnyk and staff for the excellent care she received.


Private services were handled by E.F. Lassahn Funeral Home, with a Celebration of Life to be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests contributions to be held in trust for the benefit of Auden and Brenner Wiechert via Venmo
