~Marline Heath~


Lillian Marline Heath peacefully walked through heaven's gate on May 2nd after a very brief battle with cancer. She was at home in Lake Wildwood, surrounded by her loving family. She was 73.
Marline married Vern Heath in 1959. They moved to Santa Cruz in 1969 where they raised their 2 children, Julie Heath Johnson of Lake Wildwood and Matthew Heath of Santa Barbara. Marline left her career as a dental assistant to raise her family.


Marline loved life! She enjoyed traveling her husband, music, gardening, going to Curves, and spending time with her family and friends. She had a way of profoundly touching all who knew her. She especially cherished all the time spent with her five grandchildren, Britney, Hunter and Hannah Heath and Caitlin and Ava Johnson. Her family was her joy. She had a deep spiritual life which she instilled in both her children and grandchildren. Marline was much loved and will be greatly missed by all who knew her.


She is survived by her husband of 50 years, Vern, her children Julie Heath(Matt) Johnson of Lake Wildwood; son Matthew Heath of Santa Barbara; daughter Melinda (Carl) Wilson of Grants Pass, OR; sister LaVonne Harrison of Napa; brother Roy Gregg of Richmond; grandchildren, Britney, Hunter, Hannah, Caitlin and Ava, two great grandchildren, Peyton and Abbigal and numerous nieces and nephews.

    Marlene, Our thoughts and prayers are frequently with you, Vern and everyone else. You are a special person and we have enjoyed your company through the years. We are a fortunate family to be surrounded with people that not only love us, but enjoy our company! Your laugh and humor have given us many smiles throughout the years. As Kristen said above, there are many fond memories of the Delta. The music from those times takes me back everytime I hear it and I think of all the wonderful times we had there. Rootbeer floats at the barge, Lost Isle, Al the Wop's, falling off the dock(me multiple times), hours of waterskiing, hepatitus from the Meadows (well that wasn't so great!),Vern throwing M-80's into the river off the back of the boat and you and mom being mortified at his youthful(read that childish???)behavior. There are tons of fond memories for all of us. Since then there are very many great memories. I am sure Nini would rank martini's outside the motorhome at Heath-Hannah as being particulalry memorable as well. You have a wonderful heart and mean the world to us.

    Nini here... Yes I would rank the Martini hour at the motor home as tops. You and Vern are always witty, warm, understanding and fun. Few people in this world have ever shone as brightly as you. And the style! You and Arelene are hard to compete with in the glamor department! I always seem to be short a few pieces of flair. You are just totally beautiful. We miss you and hope to see you soon.

    Much Love, Nini,Gary, Trevor, Tanner, Presley

  6. Marline,
    Everytime I think of you, I have this funny girl image of you and Julie. You and Julie had been to a beauty treatment session, and arrived at Julies beach bungalo with the biggest Angelina Jolie Lips I had ever seen. To this day I laugh at your sillyness. You have been an inspiration and mentor to me and my daughter, as both a Mother and best friend. You will continue to be an inspiration to me always. My prayers are with you and your family. With all my love, Bobbie Robinson.

    I met your beautiful daughter Julie at Bare Escentuals 6 years ago. I know now where her beauty comes from! During our friendship, Julie and I have had many conversations about you and her dad. I feel I know you although we've never met. You have been such a support to her, Matt and the children. I wish you strengh and courage to continue your journey. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. With love, Irene Howland

  12. Hello Everyone!
    It is so wonderful to read all of your beautiful comments.....I really appreciate all the wonderful memories. Each day is so precious! Today Ava said to me....remember when Grammy was sick and could still walk?? She also said to my Mom today...Grammy I guess you are never gonna walk or laugh again....My Mom does laugh but, to a brand new 4 year old, it is not the same Grammy laugh she was used to hearing. Both my girls treasure their Grammy so much! Caitlin has been so wonderful doing her nails and rubbing lotion on her legs. I am so proud of both of them. This has been so hard on both of them. Although conventional medicine has given up on her, my Mom has a VERY strong will to live. She says she is not done yet and she promised to help me with Caitlin's teenage years:) She wants everyone to pray for her right lung to be clear because her left lung , as she puts it, is totally clear. Thanks again for all your thought and prayers they meen so much to my Mom. Please keep them coming!!
    Love and gratitude, Julie :)

  13. Marline,
    We are so saddend to hear about your cancer and want you to know that we are praying hard for you and your family everyday. You are such a beautiful person inside and out and like all the Heath's hold a special place in our hearts. We want you to know how wonderful Matt was to Cici when she went to Wyoming last summer. She went there all alone to find a summer job and found that all the jobs had been filled. We finally convinced her to call Matt just so she could check in with someone she knew and he offered to let her stay at his home as long as she wanted. Well, she ended up staying the whole summer and had the time of her life. He was so generous and kind to her and it gsve us such peace of mind to know she was there safe with "the Heath family" even if they were three states away. Your love and generousity Marline has spilled down in more ways than you'll ever know. Keep the strength, we want to see you on the dance floor!
    Love Robin, Greg and Cici

    The love and support you show to your family is awesome to watch and behold. With all that you are doing each and every day you still manage to stay our beautiful and loving niece.

    My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family every day, several times a day. I just know that you are as beautiful inside as outside. I always thought you the most beautiful woman I know. You and Vern were so good to our son and he sends his love to you. I remember Matt at our house and the stuff those two boys would get into. Julie is a sweetheart and beautiful like her mother. May God be with you and help you heal. Love, Donna & Moe Goering

  20. Dear Marlene, Vern, Julie and Matt and families,

    What sad news to hear you are all going through such a difficult time. We have such fond memories of many fun times with our children all in Baymonte together, our two Julies and Matt and Stephen back and forth for play time and also birthday parties, as well as scouting events. The times we spent together when our children were all on the SCAT swim team. Lots of wonderful memories.

    Just know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers as you face each day ahead.
    Fondly,

  21. Hello Everyone,

    Sorry it has been such a while since my last update.......things have been very hectic around here. We are very blessed to have such wonderful family and friends!! These past several days we have had Arlene and Lorin, Pat and Grant, Darin, and my good friend Michelle, up here helping with cooking, cleaning, and taking care of my two girls. Matt is also here with two of his kids Hunter and Britney, and his girlfriend Hollie . Brit drove straight through from Wyoming by herself to be with her Grammy. We had sad news from both her Doctor and Hospice over the weekend saying we were down to the final hours/days. Those of you who know my Mom know she has the spirit of a warrior! She is still very lucid at times communicating with us and making us laugh.......other times she is completely unresponsive. I love watching her strength and spirit.....she is still trying to eat and drink water!! We continue to pray for a miracle but I fear we are enjoying our last precious moments with my Mom. I can not tell you how grateful I am for all your cards and prayers. We read her the cards every day.......Thank-You :) I am also very blessed to have made such wonderful friends up here in Lake Wildwood. They have been there for me and my parents providing meals and childcare since the diagnosis on January 28th. I can't believe today is our " three month anniversary". How fast this disease strips you of everything you were. Obviously though, it cannot take your spirit!!I will update you again when I can.

  22. I have been here for a few days to offer love and support to Marlene, Vern and Juli & Matt, To help where I can. Marlene as always is a strong and inspirational woman. Whom we all LOVE. During my time here has reminded me of many fond memories,(too many for me to extend). The importance of such a strong and loving woman has been a guiding influance in my life as well as many others. So it is no suprise for me to see Juli with that same great Strength,Love & Compasion, through these toughest of times. It has been difficult, however the amazing amount of love here is overwhelming. We are so truley blessed to have a family such as ours, and it will be a great loss to be without one of our brightest stars. We will endure because of the strength Marlene has shown us, for us and our future generations. So now all my prayers go to Marlene, for peace & love. For her to take with her to the next part her life, and for ones she will leave behind. I love you, Darin

  24. Marline, Vern, Julie and Matt,

    Words cannot begin to describe how sad we are to hear of what you are all going through. My mom and I pray for you all. Darin said it perfectly when he mentioned us being without one our brightest stars.

    It is easy to come up with so many fond memories of Marline. I remember the month I spent at their home many moons ago. There was so much love in the Heath home. I felt so lucky to be apart of it. And during that time, I learned so much. And back then, I remember Marline and Julie telling me about Clinique facial products and proper dating etiquette. Of all things to be thinking about... My daugthter is now 9 - going on 15. My mom, Veronica, was in Georgia visiting Jenevieve and I. At some point, we needed to get face cream for Jenevieve. Clinique was the obvious choice. Not a day goes by, when I don't think of Marline as I put the face cream on Jenevieve. Marline's crack of laughter is fresh on my mind.

    Regardless of how much time passes between visits, you never lose the love you have for people that mean so much to you.

    God bless you. We love you, Kristina, Veronica and Jenevieve

  28. This last sunday i drove up from wyoming to be with my grandma, it was a long drive but well worth it as this time with her may not be able to be replaced. I a so sad she will never be able to get to know my kids the way I have. She is a GREAT grandma and always has been.......I can very clearly remember going to sushi and chinese food with her and having her take me to ballet and the beach in santa cruz. These last few days here have been harder than i could have ever thought, I can truly say this is one of the hardest thing i have ever been through and ever seen. I pray at this time for peace and calmness for her. Thank you all for praying and all your support!
    Love,

  29. Brigid, Trenton & Jackson are sad that we weren't able to come up to see you this last weekend, but we are so glad that Darin made the trip. His time with you & the family was so important and special to him, not just this week, but all the years of his life. We all love you so much! I, personally, will always treasure our walks & talks at Heath-Hannah - it was how I really got to know you. You are such a strong, beautiful, special woman and Julie is so fortunate to have received all those same qualities.

    I'm so happy to also have the memory of the boys' birthday party - it's wonderful to be a part of this awesome family & I thank you for making the drive.

    You, Vern, Julie & Matt, Matt and ALL the grandchildren are in our thoughts and prayers. Love Always ~ Brigid & the boys

    Here we are on Friday evening......Mom is still hanging in with us. We are surrounded be wonderful family and friends. Arlene and Lorin have been here since last Saturday taking care of everyone and of course Arlene has been keeping our drinks very "fluffed". As my Dad says....he can set his watch by what time my good friends Debbie and Brenda show up for Wine hour. We are also blessed to have Malinda and Carl here from Grants Pass, Oregon. Megan and Mia are here as well. My Mom has been constantely surrounded by loving family and friends which is a total testament of who she is. She is and always will be my hero and role model!!!! I love you Mom :) Julie

  34. well I will try this again, Since my last post did not seem to post? It was great to spend some time with you recently though it is hard not to see you doing your normal things you do. You are very fortunate to have such a loving family around you, which is such a great mother and friend. I am sure all of us have so many fond memories being spent with you. I know I can't think of Lake Shasta, 26th ave, or The Delta without thinking of you. You were much like our second mom always making sure we stayed out of trouble. We pray for you often and know one way or another everything will turn out in God's plan. Uncle Vern, I know this has been so hard on you, but know that you have a loving family around you. Be strong and hang in there, we love you much. Julie and Matt, you have been so strong through this to see your mom and best friend fighting her illness, must be so hard. I don't envy your situation but hope I can be as strong, when the time comes. Matt, Holly and all the grand kids, I am sure this has been tough on you as well. Hang in there. We Love you all very much! Doug, Jennifer, Clayton and Maverick

  36. I didn't realize somebody had already let you know of my Moms death. My Mom walked through Heavens Gate at 11:45 AM, today. She was very peaceful and surrounded by her loving husband and family. I bent over and kissed her forhead as she let out her last breath. Caitlin and Ava, Lorin and Arlene, my husband Matt, and Malinda and her husband Carl were all circled around her as she left her earthly body. I am sure she is at this moment soaring through the Heavens with a huge smile on her beautiful face.......Taking in huge breaths of air without coughing or any more struggle. My Mom was the strongest, most beautiful person I have ever known. I am so hugely blessed to have been able to call her Mom. My girls were hugely blessed to be able to call her "Grammy". We are planning to have a celebration of her beautiful life sometime in the near future. When I have the date I will post it for everyone. Thanks again for all of your generous love and support. You all meant the world to my Mom. I love you Mom, Julie :)

    I didn't see this part of the blog and posted on another string this morning. I am so sorry to hear about per passing! Greg (Hannah) and I were just on the phone talking about this - and how much Marline reminded us of our Mom. Her smile and vivaciousness gave Greg and I the chance to channel some of what we we were missing when our Mom died with Marline, and that will be held forever in our hearts. Soar with the sun, the beautiful blue skies and the birds Marline! We will miss you more than you will ever know.
    Love always,

    I just heard to day that Marline was ill and that you had a web page up for her and I went on the computer as soon as I came home to see if I could find it and say hello and send my thoughts and prayers. As I read through the blog and saw all the loving messages of support I thought of what an incredible impact Marline has had on so many lives. Although I have not seen her in years I remember her well and her zest for life.

    I am truly sorry for your loss and hope that all the prayers and God's Love will continue to give you strength.

    It is very difficult to lose someone who you love so very much. I hope all the wonderful memories you have help you through this difficult time.

  44. Dear Uncle Vern, Cousins Matt and Julie and to all of your loved ones,

    Aunt Marline made a HUGE difference in my life. She was so giving, kindhearted and joyous.

    I will always remember her skipping through the livingroom of your Santa Cruz home while we kids listened to the soundtrack of 101 Dalmatians. The brassy chorus of Cruella de Vil blared out and there she was; swinging across the carpet with fresh bath towels slung over one arm and the sparkling blue Pacific behind her. She winked and flashed a dazzling grin at me, and in that one moment, I realized that sometimes life could be happy and carefree.

    I know you will feel empty sadness that her life force has dimmed on Earth. If it is any help at all . . . know that there is a brilliant new light in heaven.

  45. Dear Vern and family:

    We have been in constant disbelief since hearing of Marline's illness and subsequent passing - and have been thinking of all of you a lot. Marline's spirit will live on....we all will fondly remember her positivity, cheerfulness, and spirituality. Her acceptance/understanding of all persons and situations was a fabulous example for all that knew her. Her laughter, especially, will remain forever in our memory. Her devotion to her family was definitely her priority. She sure will be missed. May you/yours find peace with your many precious memories.

    Love,

  46. Hello All,

    As I continue to pour through all the pictures and memories of my Moms life I continue to be in awe and amazement at her grace and beauty......not to mention her endless energy! I find myself every day with the incredible urge to pick up the phone and ask her for help in planning these two memorials. She would know exactly what to do!!

    I want to invite anyone who would like to speak at either sevice to please let me know so I can add you to the itenerary. We will also be holding some time open for anyone who may want to speak in a more impomptu manor.

    Thanks again to everyone for your continued support. So far I would disagree with the old saying that "time heals all wounds". I will try to keep an open mind:)

    Peace, Julie

  47. Dearest Vern,Julie and Matt,

    We have had you all in our daily thoughts and prayers since first hearing of Marline's illness. We had hoped for a miracle, however we do know she is in peace, in Heaven, looking down on you. She would want you all to be happy and healthy, always. Marline was a special lady that thought first of others before herself.

    You are right Julie, you will be able to handle the sadness easier, with time, however time does not "heal all". My father passed away at age 50, in 1960 from cancer, and I still am brought to tears when I think of him. There is nothing more devastating than losing a loved family member.

    Many times, for you all, it will be "one day at a time,and sometimes one hour at a time".

    Fondly,

    Larry and Terrie

  48. Dear Vern, Julie and Matt,

    On bahalf of my myself...my Father, Chobby and Mark Morais I wish to express how sad we are of just learning today about the passing of Marline.

    I was fortunate to have known your Wife, your Mother my entire life and can honestly say she was the classiest lady I ever knew with regard to every aspect of her life. My whole life whenever I have thought of Marline I always envisioned her radiant smile, her beauty and aura that always lit up any room or situation she entered....she truly was/is a lady in every sence.

    I/we are fortunate to have known Marline from the onset of your various visits to here, The
    Delta, of which you became not only favorite customers at Al the Wop's and Guisti's but what we consider our dear friends as well.

    We are very sorry for your loss.
