Heather Marie Xydis

Born in Houston, Texas, Heather was a proud graduate of Annunciation Greek Orthodox School and Westbury Christian High School. She later pursued her passion for helping others at the Memorial School of Radiologic Technology, earning her credentials as a Registered Radiologic Technologist. Her career took her across several states, where she was known for her warmth, professionalism, and genuine care for patients and colleagues alike.

Heather lived life with a generous spirit and adventurous heart. She found joy in simple things—caring for animals, nurturing her plants, and discovering new places. Among her many travels, Greece held a special place in her soul, connecting her to her heritage and the beauty she loved so deeply. Her laughter could fill a room, her stories could brighten an evening, and her presence made those around her feel seen and valued.

Though her journey included challenges, Heather will be remembered not for the hardships she faced but for her compassion, her humor, and the light she brought into others’ lives. She loved deeply, gave freely, and left an indelible mark on all who knew her.

Heather was preceded in death by her beloved grandparents. She is survived by her parents, Steve and Patricia; her brother, Steven; and many cherished aunts, uncles, cousins, nephews, and friends in both the United States and Greece.

Her time with us was far too short, but her love and laughter will live on in the hearts of those she touched.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to an animal rescue or care organization in her memory.

“Forever loved. Forever missed. Forever free."
