HEATHER DENISE PELL BEARDEN

Heather Denise Pell Bearden, 47, of Sequatchie, Tennessee was called home suddenly on Sunday, September 17, 2023.  She was born on June 18, 1976, to James Ronald Pell, Sr. and Carol Robin Harpe.  Heather was a devoted wife, loving mother, loyal friend and a treasure upon this earth.  Heather loved her family, and her kindness was a gift that she carried throughout her life, a gentle soul.  She was born to be a nurturer as shown in her love, dedication and guidance that she gave to so many.  Her presence was a gift, her life a blessing and her death a tragedy.  Heather had compassion for all, bringing joy, wisdom and comfort to everyone around her.  She was always there to listen and to give her heartfelt, logical and sound advice.  It will be impossible to replace Heather and she will never be forgotten.  Heather’s love for Chris, Caroline and Caitlyn was her driving force.  She loved her family and loved every aspect of being a family.  She loved milestones with Chris, watching the girls grow.  Guiding and navigating them through ever day life, as well as its struggles.  Heather was a true gift.  Her presence on this earth was “felt”, her absence is felt even greater.

Heather is preceded in death by her father, James Ronald Pell, Sr.; mother, Carol Robin Harpe and grandparents, Floyd and Ruby Pell (Mom and Pop).
