Heather E. Hardison
Heather Elizabeth Hardison, 40, of Greenville, SC, passed away on Tuesday, May 12, 2026. Born in Mount Pleasant, SC, she was the beloved daughter of Steven B. Weems and Karen Hughes Weems.
In addition to her parents, Heather is survived by her three cherished children, Ava Kennedy Hardison, Kyndal Reece Hardison, and Finley King Hardison; her sister, Anna McMickin (Curtis); and her loving niece and nephew, Marley and Dawson McMickin.
Heather loved the beach, being pampered, and curling up with a good movie. More than anything in this world, she loved her children deeply and fiercely. She had a contagious laugh, a beautiful smile that could brighten any room, and a presence that brought comfort and warmth to those around her. Heather will be remembered for her love of family, her kind heart, and the joy she brought to the lives of so many.
A Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, May 30, 2026 from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm at Simpsonville Upstate First Baptist in the North Auditorium; 3 Hedge St, Simpsonville, SC 29681. Please stop by at your convenience to send condolences to the family.

I’d like to send condolences and an abundance of love to Heathers family and mostly importantly, her beautiful kids and also to my brother Sean Hardison!!! Heather was an amazing human and made everything an everyone in her path smile. I pray that god places his hands upon those babies and helps heal them through this hard process of extreme heartache,although a piece of them will forever be gone, they will meet again one day. Rest in Piece Mrs Heather Hardison!!! Love from The Honeycutt Family
A pain so deep for those that loved her! So tragic and sad.
May the family comfort each other today and always.
May a special comfort come to my friend Karen, Heather’s mom. We have been friends for a very long time. I personally can’t make the service; however, Kim Haefelin is coming to represent Sumter!
Hugs to all!
There are some people who leave a mark on your heart and soul that time can never erase, and she was one of those people for me. She carried a beautiful light within her, and even through life’s struggles, I will always remember how incredibly special she was — her smile, her heart, and the way she could make others feel loved.
My deepest condolences go out to her family and everyone grieving this tremendous loss. She was loved, she mattered, and she will not be forgotten. All of Florence mourns.

The family are in my thoughts and prayers 🙏 ❤️ We use to be neighbors and always enjoyed being around Sean ,Heather and Ava.( unfortunately I went back to Missouri and did not meet their other children) I know this Heather was always smiling and her laugh was very contagious…RIP Heather
That’s an interesting combination of a funeral home and memorial park. What inspired the connection between the two?
We offer our deepest condolences, thoughts , especially our love and prayers for this precious and beautiful family. We’ve had the honor to personally meet all of you except for Mr. Weems. Nonetheless, we feel closely connected to you Sir through our beautiful Anna. I remember the first time I had the honor to meet Heather I was inspired by how she made all of us feel so comfortable. Anna and Curtis had a house full that day from some helping fix a washer and the rest of us helping them move . Heather took it in stride cooking for everyone there. She was the sweetest hostess. Her smile embraced you warmly. She touched our hearts from that day on as did her children. We are truly hurting for all of you . Praying for you all as well. Love the McMickins.
So heartbreaking to hear this. I remember knowing you when we were kids, and it’s hard to see someone gone so young. My heart truly goes out to your three children, family, and everyone who loved you.
