Heather L. (Lutsey) Frantz

Heather Lutsey Frantz’s life journey began on May 28, 1981.  Her far to brief time with us ended on November 28th after a courageous near-9 year battle with brain cancer.  She was an inspiring trooper throughout the long ordeal. As a believer, she was welcomed into paradise for a well-earned respite by her paternal and maternal grandparents along with other loved ones.

Following graduation from the Blue Mountain School District, Heather gained a BS in Nursing from West Chester University before embarking on her medical career. While working at Lehigh Valley Cedar Crest as a cardiac RN for a decade, she earned a Master’s degree from DeSales University ultimately leading to her “dream job” as a Nurse Practitioner for a Lehigh Valley Hazleton cardiac practice.

Heather is survived by her high school sweetheart turned husband Jared and her cherished sons Cole and Blake who were only 5 and 2 years old respectively when she was first diagnosed. She felt truly blessed to be their mother.

Other survivors include her parents Carol/Wayne Lutsey, brother Eric (wife Sarah, son Cayde), sister Nicole (husband Ryan), in-laws Judy/Dale Frantz, and sister-in-law Dina Lally (husband Mike, sons Jake and Shane) along with numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends including former Lehigh Valley nursing colleagues.
