South Bend Tribune 8/7/2001

Heather M. (Bech) Kovachevich, 31, had no funeral at her request. She was born in Boise, Idaho, and married Craig Kovachevich, who is the grandson of Evelyn and the late Alex Kovachevich.

A celebration of her life will be held at a later date. Heather gave much of herself to science as a cystic fibrosis volunteer, whereby medications were administered to help in search of a cure for cystic fibrosis.

She leaves her husband, Craig; and two sons, Kevin Alex, 6, and Kole Michael, 2.

The family spent many days teaching and learning of God and His word.
