Heidi Ann Donovan

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Heidi Donovan—a loving Daughter, Mother, Sister, Aunt, and dear friend. Heidi left this world and her absence leaves a void in the lives of all who knew her.

She was predeceased by her beloved Father, Mark Jansen, and her Fiancé, Anthony Rivera—both of whom held sacred places in her heart.

Heidi is survived by her loving Mother, Lori Donovan, whose strength and grace shaped the woman Heidi became. Her brother and best friend, Marc Donovan, their relationship was the true definition of unconditional love and loyalty. Marc's wife, Megan Donovan, shared in that closeness, becoming a true sister in heart. She also leaves behind her sister, Terrin Carrara, with whom she shared a deep love, connection and an unbreakable bond.  Those who brought the most joy to Heidi's life were her children, Janaya and Javison Cowette. Her love for them is everlasting. She was a beloved aunt to Cameron, Madelyn, and Logan Donovan—each of whom adored her deeply and will carry her memory throughout their lives.

Among those who brought Heidi daily comfort and joy was her loyal companion, Gizmo, her cherished Dog.

Heidi lived with a fiery spirit and a compassionate heart. She loved deeply, laughed fully, and gave freely. Her presence lit up every room, and her strength carried many through life's hardest moments. Though her time here has come to an end, her story continues in those she loved—and in the countless lives she touched.

Her memory will be a light in dark times and a comfort in sorrow.

Rest in peace, Heidi. You are forever loved and never forgotten.
