Crouse - Mrs. Doyleta Wright Heavner, age 82, went to her heavenly home on
Sunday, July 26, 2015.

Doyleta was born on September 15, 1932 in Cleveland County to the late Esper

Business College and retired from Modern Polymers as office manager and
bookkeeper. She touched many lives with her faith by teaching Sunday
School for over 40 years. For over 15 years, her special ministry was to
send birthday, anniversary and thinking of you cards to church members,
shut-ins and anyone who asked it of her.

In addition to her parents, she was also preceded in death by the love of
her life and husband of 67 years, Marvin "Ben" Heavner, and her sister,
Reabrin Patterson.

She is survived by daughters: Benetta O'Connor (Doug); Jan Thrift (Roger),
Kathy Huss (Robert), Sandy Cashion (Perry); 4 grandchildren: Donita
Frankosky (Jason), Michael Huss (Andi) , Charity Hedgepeth (Danny) and Roger
Ben Thrift (Dana); 9 great- grandchildren: Jordan Davis, Brett Davis, Ty
Frankosky, Lacey Frankosky, Bailey Huss, Elijah Hedgepeth, Garett Hedgepeth,

and numerous nieces and nephews.

The family wishes to thank all the caregivers who treated Doyleta with love
