Heather Lorraine Ware

Heather Lorraine Foster was born on August 2, 1973 to Ed and Karen Foster in Yuma, AZ. After graduating from Cibola High School in 1992, she went on to study business at Arizona Western College. Heather’s first job was managing the office of her father’s construction company. In 1990, she met her soul mate, William Ware and they were married three years later in November of 1993. Together they owned and operated multiple agricultural business ventures.

William and Heather were blessed with two children, Megan and Jacob whom they adored. In August of 2020, they welcomed their first granddaughter, Everlee Lorraine who brought so much joy to their family.

Once Heather became a mother, she devoted herself to her family, being an amazing mom and caretaker to everyone in her life. Heather’s greatest passion was supporting William, Megan, and Jacob and being their constant source of encouragement through the many achievements and obstacles of their lives. Whether that meant volunteering to work the FFA barbeque with Megan and Jacob, making the drive to town from Dome Valley because one of her kids forgot something they needed at home, or running tractor parts to William, she truly made it her mission to improve the lives of the ones she loved.

Heather was passionate about giving back to local youth organizations, being a valuable asset to community boards she served on, spending time with her family, and traveling whenever she could get William away from the farm in Dome Valley. She will be greatly missed.

Heather is survived by her husband of 27 years, William Ware, her daughter Megan and son-in-law Luke Laster, her son Jacob and daughter-in-law Alexis Ware, her granddaughter, Everlee Lorraine, her parents Ed and Karen Foster, her siblings Eddie (Chara) Foster and Heidi (Jeremy) Caddell, mother-in-law Patricia (Harvey) Croutch, sister-in-law Jodie Reeder, and numerous nieces and nephews.

There will be a private family service held in her honor.
