Wilbert Earl Heath was born on August 20th, 1942 to Wilbur Heath and Isabelle Robinson Heath. From an early age Wilbert learned the value of resilience, loyalty, and hard work. He grew up alongside his biological brothers and sisters, John Heath, Marshall Heath, Ray Heath, Faye Heath Murphy, Nancy Heath Dalrymple. In addition, he shared a special connection to his extended orphanage family. Both are connections he carried with him always.

Wilbert built a life rooted in dedication to family and simple joys. He shared 61 loving years of marriage with his wife, Joyce Heath, a partnership marked by enduring love. Together they created a home filled with care, perseverance, and shared memories.

Wilbert was a proud and devoted father to his children Steven Earl Heath(Donna Heath), Rodney Felix Heath(Tiffany Heath), and Gregory Allen Heath(Susan Rogers). He took great joy in watching his family grow through the years and was a loving grandfather to Heather Paugh (Lute Paugh), Tanner Walton, Christian Heath, Elijah Heath, and a great grandfather to Olivia.

Those moments captured his thoughtful nature and his enjoyment of a job done right.
