Mavis Ivy Heath

Redmond, Utah - Mavis Ivy Heath, age 66, passed away on January 13, 2026 in Murray. She was born on August 1, 1959, to Austin and Bernitta Mecham. She was the seventh of eight children and brought joy, energy, and warmth to her family from the very beginning.

As a little girl, Mavis was known as a real “tow-head”—a petite, blonde, and adorable child who learned quickly and eagerly. She walked and talked early, even before her first birthday, showing signs of the capable and determined woman she would become.

In high school, Mavis was a cheerleader and enjoyed being involved and surrounded by friends—many of whom remained close to her throughout her life.

On November 1, 1975, Mavis married Russell Heath. Mavis and Russell were blessed with three children. Ryan, Blake, Kiley. Mavis was deeply devoted to her children and took immense pride in their accomplishments. She faithfully supported her kids through sports and any activities they were involved in.

Mavis was blessed with ten grandchildren—Cooper, Griffin, Perry, Kyran, Lyla, Josie, Charli, Nora, Ace, and Zane—who were truly her pride and joy. She loved each of them fiercely and was well known for sneaking them treats, whether they were “allowed” to have them or not. She rarely missed a game, recital, or activity, happily chasing her grandchildren from one event to the next and cheering them on every step of the way.

Mavis was an excellent cook and was known for making wonderful meals for her family. She was also known as the family Skip-Bo queen, always ready for a competitive game and a good laugh. Mavis cherished her summers at Fish Lake, where she spent countless happy days with the love of her life, making memories with new friends that will be treasured forever.

Above all, Mavis was a remarkable mother, grandmother, sister, and friend. She was dependable, loving, and selfless—someone others turned to for advice, support, and comfort.

Mavis will be remembered for her kindness, her feisty spirit, her devotion to her family, and the quiet strength with which she lived her life. She was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, sister, friend, and neighbor, and she meant the world to those who loved her.
