With hearts broken but full of love, we announce the passing of our precious baby, Jasper Finn Heidelberg, who was called home far too soon on December 10,2025, at three months old.

From the moment he entered the world on September 5, 2025, Jasper brought light, wonder, and a love deeper than words to everyone who held him. Though his time with us was brief, it was filled with soft smiles, warm snuggles, and moments our family will
forever treasure.

Jasper is lovingly held in the hearts of his parents Cody and Savannah Heidelberg, of Ellisville, Mississippi; his siblings Sophie, Harrison, and Rowan; and his Nannie, Pop Pop, Mimi, Nona, and Nini. Plus, a whole host of other family members and friends who
cherished him. While our hearts ache, our love for Jasper will carry on for a lifetime.

Stephanie Elizabeth Meaders of Laurel, Mississippi, and formerly of Atlanta, Georgia, passed away on December 5, 2025, at home with her mom. She was born on July 8, 1977, and is survived by her mother, Carolyn Meaders, and numerous beloved cousins and friends. She was preceded in death by her father, Dennis Meaders, and grandparents William and Monelle Crecink and Frances Meaders.

She was born in Atlanta and graduated from Marist School in 1995. She attended the University of Georgia until November 1, 1997, when she suffered severe injuries from a vehicle accident. She spent the rest of her life making remarkable progress in her recovery, but struggled with health problems as a result, some of which shortened her life.

Stephanie loved life from an early age. Her “pawpaw” called her the little mayor of the neighborhood as she patrolled the street on her big wheel and later her bike. She had a multitude of friends and kept up with many of them throughout her life. Her friends from elementary school, Marist, and UGA, as well as her church family at Wieuca Road, were cherished lifelong friends. She loved UGA football, the Atlanta Braves, her hometown of Atlanta, and any music by the Grateful Dead, Phish, Bob Marley, Bob Dylan, and Janis Joplin. Her music was a lifeline for her during the long hard days of her recovery from her accident, as was her faith in Christ.

As were her wishes, she was cremated and will be placed in her mother’s family plot in Meadville, Mississippi, at a later date. A memorial gathering in Atlanta will also be held at a later date. If you would like to remember her with a donation to one of her favorite charities, Covenant House, or to your favorite charity, that would have delighted her. Fly high, sweet girl, and rest in peace in the arms of God.
