It is with heavy hearts that we announce the peaceful passing of Heather Christine Tipps on October 28, 2024, at the age of 46. She was a beloved daughter, sister, cousin, and friend.

Born on May 22, 1978, in Dallas, Texas, Heather was a beautiful soul who always sought to help others and make all who knew and loved her feel special. She was creative, witty, sarcastic, thoughtful, and funny, possessing more strength than she knew. Her infectious laughter could light up a room, spreading joy and warmth to everyone around her. Heather loved taking selfies, gazing at the clouds, watching baseball, playing softball, fishing, and being out on the water.

She is survived by her mother, Brenda Walsh of Lindale, Texas; father Thomas Walsh of Adairsville, Georgia, and his wife, Kathy; sister Shannon Moore of Hideaway, Texas, and her husband, Michael; nephews William Moore of Hideaway, Texas, and Benjamin Moore of Weatherford, Texas, along with his wife, Emmy; aunt Barbara of Lewisville, Texas; cousin Rhonda Graham and her husband, Darin; cousin Jim Coop of McKinney, Texas, and his wife, Kristin; fiancé Matthew Reising of Nevada, Texas; and countless friends who loved and cared for her.

Heather is preceded in death by her maternal great-grandmother Margaret Kent; maternal grandmother Josephine Dennis; paternal grandparents Margaret and Thomas Walsh; and her uncle Ronald Coop.

A celebration of Heather's life will be held at 11:00 AM on November 16, 2024, at Allen Funeral Home in Wylie, Texas, with a reception to follow nearby. The family asks that those in attendance honor Heather's wishes by wearing some of her favorite colors: coastal blue, coastal orange, lavender, and dark purple.
