Heather Lynn Armstrong's Obituary
Heather Lynn Armstrong, 56, of Fayetteville, AR passed peacefully to Heaven on Monday, April 13, 2026. She was born July 14,1969 in Janesville, WI to Bruce and Joan (Kaitschuk) Armstrong. Heather spent her early years surrounded by a large circle of family and friends in Williams Bay, WI. In 1973, the Armstrong family moved from Wisconsin to Fayetteville to open the Armstrong Bros. Tool Co. Heather was fortunate to develop relationships with many wonderful people in Fayetteville. From her big smile to her always happy personality, Heather touched many lives. She loved her big family and being with all the friends who gathered frequently at the Armstrong home. Heather had a sweet spot in her heart for dogs, Wheel of Fortune, and the Dallas Cowboys. She was an avid bowler for many years, earned a black belt in Tae Kwon Do, and won multiple gold medals in the Special Olympics.
She was a member of Emmanuel Lutheran Church in Fayetteville.
Heather was preceded in death by her father, Bruce Armstrong, Sr. She is survived by her mother, Joan Armstrong, her three brothers, Bruce (Karen) Armstrong, Rob (Beth) Armstrong, and Spencer (Kristin) Armstrong, seven nieces and nephews, Meredith (Thomas) Puckett, John Armstrong, Nick Armstrong, Reid (Stephanie) Armstrong, Jill Armstrong, Jack Armstrong, and Bruce W. Armstrong, and grandniece Emma Armstrong and grandnephew Thomas Puckett, all of Fayetteville, AR.
