Heather Lee Cato, 40, of Blytheville, went to be with the Lord on Sunday, May 15, 2016 at St. Vincent's Hospital in Little Rock. She was born in Freeport, Illinois to Susan Smith Peterson and John Peterson.

Heather worked for 8 years as an administrative assistant in the Armorel School District. She attended all of her children's activities. They said she was a "Quiz Bowl Mom", and a "soccer Mom" -- even coaching the soccer team when needed. She enjoyed doing crossword puzzles, coloring in Adult Coloring Books, watching Net Flicks, and taking surveys --She spent the money that she made from surveys at Sonic on chipped ice...which she loved.

Some comments by her friends and family to describe her are: "Loved, lived life to the fullest, best friend, put everyone before herself, compassionate, loving daughter, Mom, she made people happy, special." She was an organ donor so that others could be helped by her gift.

She is survived by her husband of 21 years, Ronnie Cato of Blytheville;

Two sons, Ronnie Jay Cato and Johnathon Cato of the home;

One daughter, Korrin Cato of the home;
