Author: AMHhenley Surnames: Hollingsworth, Winger Classification: obituary Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.idaho.counties.franklin/2326/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Logan Herald Journal, 05/21/08 Heather Hollingsworth died unexplainably on May 18, 2008, while living with her sister, Jessi, in Ogden, Utah. She had just turned 23 on May 9, having been born in Preston, Idaho, in 1985 to Melanie Winger and Jeffrey Hollingsworth. She was born with beautiful, natural, curly hair. People were always asking her where she got that gorgeous perm. Heather was very quick-witted and at times would say things that would make everyone laugh. As a toddler, when she'd crack us up she would stomp her feet and say, "I hate laugh ats!" Right from the get-go, Heather felt very protective of her sisters and parents and was extremely close around any strangers (which was pretty much everyone). So her mom decided to start nicknaming her "Sunshine" in hopes that she could develop a happier countenance. This worked great (most of the time) and she's always been our sunshine ever since. She loved to draw (including her body art) which she was very proud of. She loved to listen to music. She especially loved babies and longed to be a mother someday. Just over one month ago, she got a horse, which she'd longed for all her life. In this last month, she'd spent hours brushing her and mainly just being with her Daisy. Most of all, she loved her family, especially feeling protective of her mother. In fact, she felt her mission in life was to protect and take care of her family. She loved family get-togethers and felt so especially close to her Grams and Papa Winger - they were like her second parents. She is survived by her parents; two sisters, Jennifer Gustin and Jessica (Shane) Miller; her Grams & Papa Larry and Beverly Winger; grandmother, Maureen Hollingsworth; grandfather, Bill Hollingsworth (whom she had a special bond with); two nephews, Chaz Gustin and Daxton Miller; a niece, Shaelynn Miller; aunts, Robyn (Reed) Blau (whom she felt very close to) and Laurie Jo (Michael) Earley; uncles, Todd (Georgia) Winger and Shaun Winger (who was her favorite uncle "because he played with her a lot during her younger years"); and many cousins that she loved dearly. She was preceded in death by her just-over-one-year-younger sister, Holly Jo Hollingsworth. Heather, we all love you and will miss you greatly. Funeral services will be at 2 p.m. Saturday, May 24, 2008, in the Preston North Stake Center, 310 N. State St., Preston, with Bishop Richard Swainston conducting. Friends may call from 6 to 8 p.m. Friday at Webb Funeral Home, 109 E. Oneida, Preston, and from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. Saturday at the stake center. Interment will be in the Preston Cemetery.
