Heather Lifland
Heather Lynn Lifland, age 42, of Bowling Green, Ohio, passed away on September 13, 2025.
Heather was born on June 9, 1983, in Fremont, Ohio, to Ken and Christine Obringer. From an early age, her kind heart and joyful spirit touched everyone around her. She grew into a loving wife, a devoted mother, and a caring sister and daughter.
Heather's greatest joy in life was her family. She leaves behind her husband, Andrew Lifland, and their two beloved sons, Alex Scott and Ethan Christopher, who were the light of her life. She is also survived by her father, Ken Obringer; her sister, Brooke (Spencer) Jordan; her nephew, Javin Obringer; and her niece, Gwen Jordan.

She was welcomed into Heaven by her mother, Christine Obringer of Coldwater, Ohio.
Heather's life was filled with love, laughter, and dedication to those around her. She worked at Conneaut Elementary School in the Bowling Green City School District as a paraprofessional, where her patience and compassion touched many children's lives. Outside of work, she poured her heart into her boys, proudly supporting them in Cub Scouts and school activities.
Heather will always be remembered for her warm smile, her caring nature, and the way she made every moment with family special.
