Heidemarie was born in Butzbach Germany on November 8 ^th , 1946 and was the eldest of four children.  She was a loving wife of 45 years, a devoted mother of eight, grandmother of 18, and great grandmother of 10. Heidemarie first and foremost was a compassionate matriarch that touched the lives of many people in so many ways. As the wife of a military veteran, she was and forever will be known as the eternal family pillar who led a full life, shared her love with everyone she met, and was known as the "neighborhood mom". She was a coach, youth mentor, fantastic cook, who loved crafts and painting. Her family was her passion in life.  She was happiest when everyone was home, children playing, and bellies full of every one's favorite dish. We were blessed for decades to have her house as the focal point for all gatherings. Heidemarie leaves an everlasting legacy of a fierce stubborn personality who did things her way in life and left this earth on her terms. Heidemarie Blake was preceded in death by her daughter Natalie. She is survived by her husband Rick Blake, two sisters Ingrid, Rosie, brother Michael, children George, Richard, Christian, Andy, Robert, Angela, Melanie, and dozens of other family members. She shall be remembered forever as the strongest woman we all have ever known!
