At the age of three, Courtney was diagnosed with a Cardiac Tumor, which eventually contributed to her death. Courtney spent the majority of her life in St Lucie County. As a teenager, she lived for a short time in Signal Mountain Tennessee whereat the age of 13, she met the love of her life, Stephen Roach. Stephen and Courtney maintained contact through the years and eventually reunited in 2015 and began planning their lives together.

Courtney was full of life and everyone who met Courtney saw that she was a beautiful person inside and out. Her smile would light up the room and leave a lasting impression. She was at a stage in her life with a man who she loved and loved her, with wedding plans on the horizon. She knew that she was well loved by her family & friends and she was content.

Her fiancé, family and friends will honor her memory by continuing to lead productive and satisfying lives until such time as we are reunited in Heaven. For now, we will think of Courtney when we drink tea, eat Asian food, and see cherry blossoms. There is a Special Angel watching over her loved ones. Her sarcastic sense of humor and her unconditional love will be missed most of all.

In lieu of flowers, A Go Fund Me Account has been created to setup an education account for her young siblings. https://www.gofundme.com A Celebration of Courtney"s life will be held on September 16th at 3:00 PM at St Andrews Lutheran Church, 295 NW Prima Vista Blvd, Port St Lucie.
